Sturt
Sturts Steinige Wüste in Australien

Die Sturt, auch Sturts Steinige Wüste (englisch Sturt's Stony Desert), ist eine australischen Wüste, die in die Bundesstaaten South Australia und (teilweis) Queensland liegt.

Die Sturt erhielt ihren Namen vom britischen Entdecker John McDouall Stuart. Dieser hatte im Jahre 1861 erstmals die Wüste durchquert. Er benannte die Wüste nach dem britischen Entdecker Charles Sturt, an dessen Expeditionen er früher teilgenommen hatte.
