Which parts of Australia contain the largest deserts?

Australia’s largest deserts are primarily located within the arid interior of the continent, a region often referred to as the Outback. These vast, arid landscapes occupy a significant portion of the country, particularly across the Western Plateau.12

The largest deserts include:

• Great Victoria Desert: As Australia's largest desert, it spans a vast area across Western Australia and South Australia, stretching from the Gibson Desert in the north to the Nullarbor Plain in the south.34
• Great Sandy Desert: The second largest desert, it is situated in northern Western Australia, extending eastward into the Northern Territory.5
• Other Major Deserts: The Gibson Desert and the Tanami Desert are also located within the arid central region of the continent.1

These areas are characterized by sand hills, salt marshes, and stony plains, with much of the interior lacking permanent surface drainage.3452
