Flinders Ranges National Park
Flinders Ranges · SA
The ancient heart of South Australia, the Flinders Ranges contain some of the oldest landscapes on Earth, with fossils of the earliest complex life forms dating back 600 million years. Wilpena Pound, a vast natural amphitheatre, dominates the landscape. Aboriginal cultural significance runs deep, with the Adnyamathanha peoples Dreaming stories embedded in the landscape.
