F466 The extensive plains of the Culgoa Floodplains National Park, in the Australian outback, are dotted with barren clay pans in which no vegetation survives. This park, in a remote and isolated area of south-western Queensland, has few human visitors, but is home to many species of native birds and animals. The water that flows across the vast floodplains when heavy rains fall in northern areas of the state fill the often dry course of the nearby Culgoa River that feeds into the Darling River that is one of the longest and most important waterways in Australia.
