Flinders Ranges

This remote mountain range, which encompasses Wilpena Pound and the Flinders Ranges National Park, is one of South Australia’s best attractions. The Flinders Ranges start south of Port Augusta, although the big attraction is Wilpena Pound in the north-central Flinders Ranges.

Coming & going & local transport

Although most express buses bypass the Flinders Ranges, backpacker buses such as Adventure Tours, Groovy Grape, Oz Experience, and the Wayward Bus go via this region on their routes connecting Adelaide with Alice Springs. Even if you are travelling on an express bus pass, it’s possible to pick up a Premier Stateliner (tel (08) 8415 5555) bus from Adelaide or Port Augusta as far as Wilpena Pound.
