Here are our top tips for getting your #colourfromnature fix in the Australian outback.
Sturt National Park, NSW. The most 'outback' of all NSW National parks with looped trails, wading birds at Pinaroo Lake & views from the top of Mount Wood. Spanning red rolling sand dunes, Sturt National Park is home to an abundance of emu's and kangaroo's, as well as pretty wildflowers.
Cape Leveque, WA. Where dramatic red-rock cliffs meet bone-white sand and crystal clear turquoise water... these are the striking colors of Cape Leveque. This rugged and pristine part of the Kimberley is famous for its Aboriginal heritage which you can learn more about on bush-tucker, tag-along and mud crabbing tours. Fish are plentiful in the ocean here, so throw a line in and go fishing, or if you'd prefer to whale watch, sit back relax and enjoy nature and all it's beauty.
Simpson Desert, SA, NT and QLD. Straddling three states, the Simpson desert spans 170,000 square kilometres made up of seemingly endless horizons, vast rolling dunes and deep red sand. Jump in the 4WD and sign up to a guided tour - this place requires a well thought out travel plan - remember it's massive!
Innamincka Regional Reserve, SA. Salt lakes, wetlands, river systems and artesian springs... this park showcases unique scenic and cultural environments on an immense scale. Go bird watching, kayaking, boating, or simply just take a scenic walk or drive and breathe the fresh air in your lungs!
Murray Sunset National Park, VIC. With its wide open landscapes, breathtaking sunsets and open starry skies, its vastness is breathtaking. The Pink Salt lakes are famous for their colorful hues and can be enjoyed via the walking tracks where you'll also spot heavenly wildflowers.
Kings Canyon, NT. At the heart of Australia's red Centre lies the ancient geographical beauty that is Kings Canyon. The canyon has been forged through layers of sandstone and hard shale creating soaring domes and plateaus that plummet to an oasis of natural rock pools and native flora and fauna.
Uluru, NT. It goes without saying, we've left the most iconic till last. At the heart of the great land down under in the Northern Territory's arid "Red Centre" lies Uluru.
