What you’ll do

Embark on an unforgettable adventure through the Flinders Ranges, where every turn unveils a new marvel of nature! From dramatic peaks to ancient rock art, this region promises awe-inspiring sights and thrilling hikes. I absolutely adore this part of the country and am sure you will love it too.

As you set off on your journey, remember to lace up your sturdy hiking boots, pack ample water, and slather on sunscreen to stay comfortable and safe. With limited reception in the ranges, be sure to download maps, locations of campsites and petrol stations, and enough music to keep you pumped on the drives and hikes. 

Also, note that there is a park entry fee of $10.90 per vehicle, per day which must be paid before entering the park. Simply pay for this online on the National Parks and Wildlife Services South Australia website. Keep an eye on the weather, conditions can shift quickly in this rugged terrain, so a little preparation goes a long way. Ready for an adventure? Let’s dive into the wonders of the Flinders Ranges!

Kick off your adventure in the Flinders Ranges with a day filled with stunning viewpoints and dramatic landscapes. Begin by soaking in some breath-taking views from a prominent lookout before tackling a challenging peak that offers awe-inspiring views. After a scenic drive, take a short walk to another stunning vantage point with panoramic views of the region. As evening approaches, head to your free campsite, which, while simple, offers incredible sunset views and minimal road noise. It’s a perfect spot to unwind, and if the night is clear, be sure to enjoy the spectacular stargazing opportunities.
