The Flinders Ranges - Accessible Outback
The Flinders Ranges offer one of the most accessible outback destinations in Australia - just 4.5 hours drive or 1 hour's flight from Adelaide or Kangaroo Island, 4 hours drive from the hills and valleys of the Barossa, 3 hours drive from the Clare Valley wine region and little over an hour from Port Augusta.
The Flinders Ranges is the largest mountain range in South Australia and stretch for over 430 km. Its most characteristic landmark is Wilpena Pound, a large, sickle-shaped, natural amphitheatre covering nearly 80 square kilometres, containing the range's highest peak, St Mary Peak (1170m), and adjoining the Flinders Ranges National Park.
