Yulara ↔ Erldunda

Between Yulara and Curtain Springs there is a subtle change in the visual appearance of the landscape. This is the transition between the Finke Bioregion to the east and the Gibson Desert Bioregion to the west.

Both are hot and arid areas characterised by hummocky grasses, mulga/mallee and low woodlands. A significant difference is the presence of scrubby hungry iron-rich gravely rises, a deeply weathered terrain in the Gibson Desert and extensive sand plains with dissected uplands, valleys and more desert oak groves in the Finke.

Watch for cattle on the road – this is station country.

About 27km east of Yulara you will find a welcome lay-by on the south-side with picnic table, shelter, water tank, bins and wood BBQ's. Unfortunately there is no toilet.

You will pass through the following spots covering 240km of Lasseter's Highway. The road is SEALED.
