Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of The Breakaways near Coober Pedy - one of Australia's most spectacular and spiritually significant desert landscapes.
Located in the heart of South Australia's vast outback, The Breakaways offer a window into both geological wonder and deep cultural heritage. These ancient mesa formations rise majestically from the desert floor, their multicolored layers telling the story of an ancient inland sea transformed into one of Earth's most striking landscapes.
This is Kanku country - sacred land belonging to the Antakirinja Matu-Yankunytjatjara People who have cared for this region for thousands of years. The Kanku-Breakaways Conservation Park represents a beautiful partnership between Traditional Owners and the South Australian Government, ensuring this precious landscape remains protected for future generations.
🌄 Discovering The Breakaways
Just 33 kilometers north of the famous opal mining town of Coober Pedy, these distinctive formations appear to have "broken away" from the Stuart Ranges, creating isolated mesas that stand like ancient sentinels against the endless sky. The vibrant colors - rich reds, pristine whites, and deep purples - aren't merely beautiful; they carry profound cultural and spiritual significance.
This extraordinary landscape has captured the imagination of filmmakers worldwide, serving as the backdrop for iconic movies including Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, Pitch Black, and Priscilla: Queen of the Desert.
