Outback Wonders

This collection highlights the stark landscapes of South Australia, featuring massive endorheic salt lakes like Lake Gairdner and Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre. These geological features are complemented by historical remnants of early European expansion, including the Curdimurka Siding on the old Ghan railway and the Strangways telegraph station ruins. From the vast white salt crusts of the Great Victoria Desert to the abandoned homesteads of the Nullarbor, these sites document the natural scale and challenging pioneer history of the Australian outback.
