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.
