Flinders Ranges
The Flinders Ranges stretch about 400 km from Mt Remarkable in the south to the Strzelecki Desert in the north and are a spectacular highlight in South Australia. Although the Flinders Ranges are part of the arid regions of South Australia, the vegetation is diverse and colourful.
There is a lot to do and to see in the Flinders Ranges. Before heading to the Ranges, the best would be to get further information about the Flinders Ranges at the Tourist Office in Port Augusta, Hawker, Quorn or Wilpena. Bushwalking is a great way to experience the Gorges, fauna and flora. It's a good idea to stay in the Flinders Ranges for some days. Then there's enough time to visit the Flinders Ranges National Park and the Gammon Ranges National Park. Mt Remarkable National Park is part of the Southern Flinders Ranges district.
The Flinders Ranges are easy to reach. Starting in Adelaide it's an easy day trip to get there via Port Augusta to Hawker. All the way is sealed. The road from Hawker to Wilpena is sealed too, but further on all the roads are Gravel Roads.
There are many camping grounds in the Flinders Ranges National Park and the Gammon Ranges National Park as well. If you like to have more comfort, you can stay on the Caravan Parks in Hawker, Wilpena or Quorn. In most towns of the Flinders Ranges Caravan parks can be found. If you camp in the bush, be sure to be totally self-supplied.
There are three very interesting National Parks in the Flinders Ranges area: Flinders Ranges National Park, Gammon Ranges National Park and Mt Remarkable National Park (near Port Augusta). All these parks offer many activities and are perfect for bushwalking and camping. The Flinders Ranges are already part of the remote part of South Australia. So be sure to carry enough water with you, when visiting the National Parks.
