The Flinders Ranges rises from the northern end of Spencer Gulf, in the east of South Australia, and runs north for 800 km. It is a fantastic area for bushwalking, flora and fauna, and soaking up the ever-changing colours of the outback. The mountains in the north are hemmed in by barren salt lakes.
The best-known feature of the ranges is the huge natural basin known as Wilpena Pound which is ringed by 1,000 m cliffs. Other attractions include Alligator Gorge in Mount Remarkable National Park, Brachina Gorge, and the ironstone capped ridge known as the Great Wall of China.
Great views over the landscape of the Flinders Ranges region is by aerial tour flight.
Winter is a pleasurable time to visit, with spring offering the beauty of the wildflowers. For those planning an memorable outback tour, see some of the listed destinations or book yourself on an outback tour for an memorable experience.
