The 'Far North' is a region of
South Australia.
It is both the largest and also the least populated part of the state and much of the region is desert.
Most people need permits to enter
Aboriginal reserves, the
Woomera Prohibited Area and several
National Parks in the region.
The only significant roads in the area are:
★ The
Stuart Highway from
Port Augusta to
Alice Springs.
★ The
Oodnadatta Track
★ The
Birdsville Track
★ The
Strzelecki Track
For most people, the term "Far North" refers to that part of South Australia north of a line roughly from
Ceduna through
Port Augusta to
Broken Hill.
