About Flinders Ranges

The Flinders Ranges are one of Australia's oldest landscapes, with rugged ridgelines, rocky gorges and red-earth plains. It is a good choice if you want outback scenery with a shorter run from the city. Most travellers hire a campervan in Adelaide for the trip north.

Highlights

Wilpena Pound (Ikara)

A natural amphitheatre of rock with walks of all lengths, including the climb to St Mary Peak.

Brachina Gorge

A drive through geological layers, with a chance to spot yellow-footed rock-wallabies.

Wildlife

Look for kangaroos, emus and birdlife around dawn and dusk.

Stargazing

Very little light pollution means excellent night skies.

Tips for your trip

  • Many of the best roads are unsealed. Check your hire agreement and road conditions before you go.
  • Carry extra water and fuel, and tell someone your route.
  • Mobile coverage is patchy in the ranges.
