It varies. Whilst the Simpson Desert is a desert because it
receives less than 250mm of rain per year, it also has sections of
waterholes. The best known of the waterholes is Dalhousie Springs,
which are permanent springs where visitors can bathe. These
artesian springs appear to be bottomless, and they lie along the
course of the ancient Finke River. There is also the Kaliduwarry
Waterhole, a permanent supply which stretches for some 30
kilometres.
