Event Description

The North Flinders Ranges offers some of the most stunning scenery in Australia as well as some of the most attractive outback properties. This accommodated trek includes selected walks in Wilpena Pound and on our favourite sections of the Heysen Trail.
The Flinders Ranges offer a rolling range of majestic peaks and rugged ridges, deep gorges and endemic plants and animals. The world class trails combine exceptional views and achievable challenges to create unforgettable walking experiences. The forests of cypress pines create an almost alpine ambiance in these semi‑arid ranges with the dry climate creating ideal conditions for walking.
This trip is fully supported and we stay at comfortable accommodation offering both stunning scenery and the best of outback hospitality.
