Wild Deserts winter tours
After a very successful launch of our Wild Deserts Experience Winter Tours in 2023 where over 50 visitors enjoyed the opportunity to meet our scientists in person and learn about our work first hand, we are running further tours during the peak visitor season in mid-2024.
Tours are free and bookings are not required, just meet us at the Talpera Lookout,ÌýSturt National Park.
