Far North (South Australia)

The Far North is a region that covers about 70 per cent of the Australian state of South Australia.

[7] The state government defines the Far North region similarly, although it separately delineates the Maralinga Tjarutja Lands, the Yalata Aboriginal community and other unincorporated crown lands in the state's far west, which are officially considered part of the Eyre and Western region.

[11][2] It is within the extent of the state electoral districts of Giles and Stuart, and at a national level the Division of Grey.

[5][3][4] The region has abundant national parks and reserves and widely scattered tourist attractions and facilities.

[12][13] Experiences and attractions include farmstays on sheep stations, unique native flora and fauna, a museum and underground accommodation where opal is mined, natural springs, and vast landscapes of salt lakes, sandstone tablelands, and vividly coloured hills.

The arid terrain of the Oodnadatta Track is typical of much of the Far North region
