The appeal is the unique beauty of the Flinders Ranges is with its indigenous history, ancient geological formations, rich colours and textures, open spaces, clear air and abundant wildlife. The Flinders Ranges are home to nearly half of South Australia’s 3100 plant species, more than 120 bird, 86 reptile and 20 mammal species. The vibrant colours of the 800 million-year-old quartzite and limestone outcrop that is the Flinders are truly spectacular.
At the heart of all this is Wilpena Pound, a natural amphitheatre 17km long and 7km wide shaped by the weathering and uplifting of land over time. Ikara, as the local Adnyamathana people call it, is a significant place of many sacred Aboriginal rituals, and their Dreamtime stories tell of its creation by huge serpents. From the rich indigenous history to the stories of the first European farmers to the region, this place has a diverse and fascinating history of human interaction with the landscape.
