Information

This outback adventure with no visitor facilities is one for fully self-sufficient park explorers. It’s remote and the summer months are hot and arid. You’ll need to carry all your supplies and ensure you have plenty of water. Lake Mason has a rich pastoral history. It was established in 1906 as a cattle station, known as ‘Berrigun’. Later it changed to sheep and wool production. That continued for more than 80 years. In 2000 the state government purchased Lake Mason. Almost 150,000 hectares of land is now a conservation park to protect native plants and animals. Discover a natural landscape of gently undulating terrain with an extensive salt lake system in the centre. There are several breakaways and low hills to the west and north. The area around Lake Mason Homestead offers opportunities for bird watching, bushwalking and camping. Simple facilities, barbecues and untreated bore water are provided.
