Central Flinders Overview

In the Central Flinders, the stark landscape of the arid red center transitions to the greener pastoral lands of the south. The most famous and accessible Flinders attractions, including the vast amphitheater of Wilpena Pound, are located here. Good roads and well-placed towns allow even the outback novice to marvel at the colorful mountains and plentiful wildlife. To reach Quorn, Rawnsley Park, or Wilpena Pound via public transportation, take Stateliner through Port Augusta. (Adelaide ☎08 8415 5555, Port Augusta ☎08 8642 5055.) Wilpena Pound marks the end of public transport into the range. Many private tours also explore the Central Flinders.
