Witjira-Dalhousie Springs

This one's pretty special. In a remote corner of the Simpson Desert in South Australia is Witjira-Dalhousie, an ancient and sacred hot spring that is of great historical and spiritual significance to the Wangkangurru people of the Witjira National Park. It's also on the National Heritage List, making it one of the most remarkable places in Australia. This sacred pool sits at a wild 36 degrees year-round and is found after a long drive through the red sands of the Simpson Desert. These springs are recharged by water that is literally thousands of years old, with it estimated that water in the centre of the basin is a wild one million years of age. Entry is $10 per vehicle, but frankly, this steamy swim is bloody priceless.
