  • Arkaba Adventure
    On top of the Red Range at golden hour, you can look out past the grass trees, across Wilpena Pound towards the Elder Range. SOUTH AUSTRALIA Wilpena Pound Arkaba adventure Adelaide Nobody would dispute the fact Rimmed by spectacular ochre-coloured cliffs and wending its way that South Australia’s Flinders past ancient red gums and through wildflower-studded grasslands, Ranges are spectacular. this four-day Flinders Ranges walk is a captivating must-do. This region’s rugged terrain, rolling hills, deep valleys and ancient waterways offer a sense of true remoteness. Story and photography by Justin Walker Wilpena Pound and neighbouring Arkaba Conservancy are two of the ranges’ most popular destinations – par- ticularly for bushwalkers – with a variety of short, long and very long tracks to follow, allowing experienced walkers the chance to really immerse themselves in this region of Australia. But that doesn’t mean those with less time, fitness or walking experience can’t enjoy exploring these areas. In fact, joining a guided walking adventure here can lead to a richer experience…which is exactly what I discovered on the Arkaba Walk. STEP INTO GREATNESS Crossing some of Australia’s most spectacular and varied terrain, the fully guided and supported Arkaba Walk takes four days and three nights, staying at historic shepherd and station camps. It winds its way from the beautiful natural amphitheatre surrounded by mountains known as Wilpena Pound, and heads across the forested interior of the Pound itself, before traversing the private Arkaba Conservancy wilderness (see page 110) and finishing at the restored Arkaba Homestead.
