  • Self-Guided Flinders Ranges Walk
    Self-Guided Flinders Ranges Walk A 7-day Pack-Free walk The Flinders Ranges rugged landscape is 800 million years in the making, with an epic geological story that attracts Geologists from around the globe. The Earth’s earliest life forms emerged here, the evidence of which continues to be uncovered today. For the next 7 days, you will be able to immerse yourself in this spectacular environment, enjoying many of the renowned walking trails in the Ranges and some of the lesser-known ones as well. You will walk along sections of the iconic Heysen Trail and climb summits offering the most spectacular views, as well as crossing the natural amphitheater of Wilpena Pound. Outback towns beckon to be explored, as does the history of the people who have called this region home; firstly the Adnyamathanha People (“of the hills”), traditional Custodians of this Country, and also the early settlers who tried to tame this harsh environment for grazing, farming and mining. With an abundance of wildlife and striking landscapes that boast a plethora of flora, the Flinders Ranges is a photographer’s paradise, set in the Australian outback. WALK FEATURES: Pack Free Self-Guided Walk Carry as little as your water, camera, and lunch Our self-guided walks are Pack-Free. We take care of all your transfers to the trail as well as the transport of your luggage between accommodation each day, allowing you to walk with just a day pack. Personal Emergency Beacon For extra safety Our guests have the option of hiring an emergency personal locator beacon to take with you when walking.
