Big Red is a 130-foot dune of red sand that is one of over 1,000 parallel dunes that stretch for as far as the eye can see across the Simpson Desert. Situated 20 miles from Birdsville in the Diamantina Area, the massive dune attracts four-wheel drivers looking for exhilarating adventures and photographers wanting to catch the spectacular beauty of the natural dune and unrivaled sunsets. Annual events such as the 'Big Red Bash' and the 'Birdsville Races' draw hundreds of locals and tourists alike to join in the fun.
