Sturt National Park

Sturt National Park is a vast 325,000-hectare protected area in far north-western New South Wales surrounding the town of Tibooburra in the Unincorporated Far West region. Established in 1972 and named after explorer Charles Sturt, it preserves diverse arid landscapes including gibber plains, sand dunes, ephemeral lakes and the granite Jump-Up mesas. Notable for its remote outback scenery, Aboriginal heritage, pastoral history and wildlife, it includes Cameron Corner where three states meet.

Visitors can expect a remote outback desert landscape with vast gibber plains, red sand dunes, flat-topped mesas known as Jump-Ups, and ephemeral creek systems. The park is explored via unsealed 4WD touring routes such as the Jump-Up Loop Drive and Cameron Corner Drive, with lookouts, historic pastoral ruins at Fort Grey and Mount Wood, Aboriginal heritage sites, campgrounds and opportunities for wildlife and birdwatching, photography and stargazing in a very isolated setting centred on Tibooburra.
