Walls of China

Top choice in Outback NSW


A 33km semicircle ('lunette') of sand dunes, the fabulous Walls of China has been created by the unceasing westerly wind. From the visitor centre a road leads across the dry lakebed to a car park, then it's a short walk to the viewing platform. Getting up close to the formations is the preserve of guided tours only.
