Sturt National Park is 335 km north of Broken Hill and 400 km west of Bourke.

Sturt National Park showcases the amazing and unique beauty of the Australian Outback. You'll see vast open gibber plains broken by flat topped mesas, and red sand dunes covered with saltbush and shrubs.

Sturt is also home to a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance.

Take the self-guided loop with a 2WD or experience Middle Road via 4WD. You'll pass diverse landscapes with phenomenal lookouts. 

Easy to moderate walks of 1 to 3 hours are possible in Sturt. You will have to pay for camping. There are four 2WD-accessible campsites in the park that are equipped with free gas barbeques and toilets. Bring your own water.

Find out more about Sturt National Park, including local accommodation, camping fees, how to get there and when to go details, at the Office of Environment & Heritage website.
