Nullarbor karst
The Nullarbor Plain (Latin: nulla feminine of nullus, "no", and arbor, "tree") is part of the area of flat, almost treeless, arid or semi-arid country of southern Australia, located on the Great Australian Bight coast with the Great Victoria Desert to its north.
It is the world's largest single exposure of limestone bedrock, and occupies an area of about 200,000 square kilometres.
At its widest point, the Nullarbor karst stretches ~850 kilometres east - west across the border between South Australia and Western Australia.
There is more to the Nullarbor than the name suggests. Indeed there are trees and an incredible hidden world of caves, of staggering beauty and value.
The Nullarbor remains a kind of wilderness, where it is possible to experience raw and pure nature, profound stillness, immense space with 360-degree uninterrupted horizon views, and the most brilliant starry night skies imaginable.
