Australia - South Australia - Flinders Ranges
South Australia’s vast Flinders and outback Eyre territory features incredible landscapes – the amazing Wilpena Pound and famous Oodnadatta Track to the almost endless Nullabor Plain. Wilpena Pound is the centerpiece of the magnificent Flinders Ranges National Park. From the air, Wilpena Pound resembles a lost world – the sort of place where you can imagine dinosaurs still stalking. This enormous, crater-shaped, natural amphitheatre, 11 kilometers by eight kilometers in size, lies at the heart of South Australia’s Flinders Ranges.

Wilpena’s rim consists of the stumps of mountains that were once as high as the Himalayas and have been eroded down over hundreds of millions of years. Geology and views are sensational – particularly from St Mary’s Peak The Flinders Ranges are full of fossils and wildlife, and have two national parks. Wilpena Pound itself is favored by kangaroos and euros (small wallaby-like marsupials) and 97 different types of bird, flitting over sprays of bright yellow wattle flowers and the brilliant reds and pinks of Sturt’s desert pea.
