The Flinders RangesA highlight when you travel the South Australian OutbackThe Flinders Ranges belong to the oldest landscapes in the world. The rugged mountain scenery is beautiful and impressing. Experience nature and grandeur at its best. The Ranges truly are one of the top tourist attractions in Australia. When you travel Outback South Australia, a trip to this rugged mountain ranges is an unforgettable experience. Wildlife is abundant, wedge-tailed eagles hover majestic in the clear blue sky. Emus and kangaroos, colourful birds and reptiles are indigenous in the area, and yes, you will see them! Take your time and spend a few hours with bird-watching. "I love a sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains, Of rugged mountain ranges, Of droughts and flooding rains."
Bunyeroo Valley - Outback South Australia The Flinders stretch from Crystal Brook, near the waters of Gulf St. Vincent in the south for some 400 km to Mt. Hopeless in the north.

It is easy to fill in the form, and yeah, your contribution will appear on a page only built for you! Mt. Hopeless, was named by explorer John Edward Eyre in 1840 while he was on an expedition to search for an inland sea and a route to central Australia. He only saw huge salt pans. This area is on the edge of the real Outback, thus, the name describes Eyre's feelings when he decided to give up and return. Australia's largest salt lake, Lake Eyre, was named after this outstanding explorer. The Flinders, considered as "easily accessible" Outback, offers so much to the visitors. Easy accessible means that you reach the main attraction Wilpena Pound on a bitumen road. Update! On my most recent visit (November 2008) major roadworks were proceeding - in a few weeks the road from Wilpena Pound to Blinman will be sealed as well.
