Places to See and Stay: Flinders Ranges - Australia

Visit South Australia

Wilpena Pound, Flinders Ranges, South Australia

Spectacular gorges, abundant wildlife and Aboriginal art - the Flinders Ranges shelter some of the world’s oldest landscapes and capture the essence of Australia. The flat, barren plains and undulating ranges include the Mount Remarkable National Park and stretch from Crystal Brook just north of the Clare Valley far into the Outback, an area renowned for wildflowers, wildlife and walking trails. The trail at Brachina Gorge uncovers millions of years of evolution, where the changing terrain unveils a tangible geological history, while the Wilpena Pound, encased by quartzite hills, is a natural amphitheatre created by nature at its most ambitious. The Flinders Ranges are best seen by 4WD tour or on foot in the company of a guide: this is Australia at its pristine best.
