the great sandy desert |
|
| The Great Sandy Desert is a vast flat sand dune or erg desert in Australia’s northwest. The rocky Pilbara, then the ninety-mile beach to the Kimberley, borders it to the west and north. To the east it is bordered by Lake Mackay and the Gibson Desert, and to the south the Gibson and the Little Sandy Desert. It is mainly made up of longitudinal sand dunes and sand plains. The Canning Stock Route traverses it, the longest, most remote stock route on the planet. There is little permanent habitation, save for a few isolated Aboriginal communities and a few mines. Within the desert is the Rudall River National Park, the largest in Western Australia. | |
