Longitude113.1591200 (113° 9′ 33″ E)

This is the western-most point on mainland Australia and 4wd is necessary to get through the sand, it may also be necessary to let your tyres down to 20psi, so a compressor is also necessary. The drive though the National Park is well worth the effort, at the point are some spectacular cliffs.

There is a NP camp at the base of the cliffs nearby, there is no free camping here
