The Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife acquired 187,899 hectares (Mount King Station) as the core of Sturt National Park, more than half of the total park area.

Sturt National Park is an enormous, arid landscape full of rolling red-sand dunes and surprising wetlands surrounded by white sand.

These wetlands are Ramsar Wetlands of International Importance.

450 million year old granite tors surround Tibooburra along the park's southern boundary.

At Sturt National Park, you will experience the harsh reality and extreme beauty of the Australian outback, and likely spot a Red Kangaroo or Wedge-tailed Eagle while you're at it.

Visit between April and October. The days can reach above 40 degrees Celcius in summer, but at night the temperatures drop dramatically, sometimes to below zero. 

The Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife is the only organisation in Australia whose philanthropy is an investment in our public estate, for all to enjoy.
