Gibson Desert. Gibson Desert, arid zone in the interior of Western Australia. ... A vast, dry region of sandhills and Triodia desert grass, it was penetrated in 1874 by Ernest Giles and was first crossed by him in 1876. It was named for Alfred Gibson, a member of Giles's expedition, who was lost while searching for water.
