Flinders Ranges
SA
(Pic by Peripitus)
Flinders Ranges are
SA's largest mountain range which begin about
200 km north of Adelaide and run
(discontinuously) for over 430 km. These superb
ranges are home to Wilpena Pound, a large natural
amphitheatre of almost 80 sq km. Here also is the
highest peak in the Ranges, St Mary Peak (1 170 m)
as well as the adjoining 92 000 ha Flinders Ranges
NP. This truly picturesque region also boasts
Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges NP covering almost 125
000 ha and Mount Remarkable NP of 18 000
ha.
Outback
SA
South Australia's Outback region
covers almost three quarters of the state and is
made up of magnificent gorges and waterholes,
historic Aboriginal
sites, remote Outback towns/communities (Oodnadatta,
Innamincka,
Coober
Pedy, Marree,
Arkaroola, Andamooka) and
remains of abandoned European settlements from
yesteryear. This arid landscape is also amazingly
home to a number of national and conservation parks
