When it comes to Australia's extremes, nothing beats the Simpson Desert. It lies in a mostly uninhabited area
near the middle of the country. What makes it stand out is the sand swirling through the
desert of 54,000 square miles which is blood red in color! The Simpson Desert is a dunal desert having linear
dunes stratching up to 125 miles in length and 23 miles in height. The red color is caused by the presence of iron oxide in its sands. The shades range from light pink to bloody red.
