Sturt National Park

Sturt National Park is the jewel of the Outback. Covering 340 000 hectares of semidesert country, the park is situated in the far western corner of New South Wales.

In the east of the park flood plains dotted with occasional trees give way to small rocky gorges and dry creek beds. The Olive Downs, or "jump-up" country is where the flat topped mesa rise up to 150 metres above the surrounding plains. Further west the gibber plains are replaced by the sandhills of the Strezlecki Desert.

Exploring Sturt National Park is well worth taking several days to complete. Camping areas are provided at Dead Horse Gully, Olive Downs and Fort Grey. They all have toilets, gas barbecues and water. Camping fees apply, but bookings are not necessary

The historic Mt Wood homestead has been restored and now offers quality accommodation. Nearby the shearer's quarters are also available for hire.

Enjoy the many and varied drives, walks and activities. Explore the pastoral industry display near Mt Wood, including Mt Wood shearing shed.

Watchout for the wildlife, wildflowers in seasons and experience one of Australia's finest National Parks.
