from http://hsc.csu.edu.au/earth_environmental/core/caring/9_4_3/943net.html#net1 :

identify regions of Australia with naturally saline soils

One naturally saline area is northern South Australia and southern Northern Territory with lakes such as Lake Eyre, Lake Torrens, Lake Frome, and Lake Gairdner. These lakes are the remains of a vast inland sea that once extended south from the Gulf of Carpentaria. During the dry season many of the salt lakes become salt-encrusted swamp beds or clay pans.
Parts of the Murray-Darling Basin have naturally saline seepages and scalds. Scalds are areas where salt has come to the surface, leaving a bare crusty area where nothing can grow due to the high salinity.
Parts of southern Western Australia have natural salt lakes.

not a lot but hope it helps. they have some pretty good stuff for a lot of the points on the syllabus.
