Rugged mountain ranges, spectacular gorges, sheltered creeks lined with river red gums and abundant wildlife are just some of the attractions that make up Flinders Ranges National Park.

Renowned for its natural, cultural and geological significance, Flinders Ranges is one of Australia's premier national landscapes. The famous landmark of Wilpena Pound (Ikara) is cradled within the park's towering mountains.

For an in-depth look at the wonders of the region join a guided tour and enjoy a scenic flight over Wilpena Pound, or make your own discoveries along the many bushwalking trails and scenic drives.

The park offers plenty of facilities, with accommodation ranging from bush camping to four-star accommodation.
