Natuurlijke wonderen in de Simpsonwoestijn

Natural Wonders

The Simpson Desert spans the intersection of the Northern Territory, South Australia, and Queensland, featuring the world’s longest parallel sand dunes. This arid landscape is defined by its vibrant red sand and a complex system of ephemeral lakes and wetlands. These water bodies, such as Lake Griselda and Andado Swamp, remain dry for years, filling only during rare, significant rainfall events to create temporary habitats for migratory birds and local wildlife amidst the expansive dunefields.
