Outback parks protect unique Australian flora and fauna. Birds flock to the precious, sometimes ephemeral, wetlands, kangaroo and emu roam the plains. After spring rain, carpets of wildflowers appear, and everywhere there are treks with panoramic views of gorges and wide open spaces.
The outback's rich pastoral heritage is also carefully managed, giving an insight into pioneering endeavours than made the first inroads into inland Australia.
