I was there in mid February and it was so silent and incredibly beautiful. My dog and I walked about a quarter of the way round, which took about three hours each way. Stunning brown watery moonscape and opportunity to find fossils.

A good place to spend the summer heat, it's a pity that there is little water, but enough to give a drink. He took care of the area and cleaned it. It has a bar to quench our thirst.
