Maurice Lake

Carle Thulka, also called Lake Maurice, is a broad salt lake in the dry country north of the Nullarbor Plain. Its exposed bed is normally clay, silt and sand coated with salt. Lake Dey Dey lies to the north, another salt basin within Maralinga Tjarutja country. Both lakes hold significance in Tjukurpa, the ancestral traditions that connect people and places across this part of the desert.
