Flinders Ranges

We spent 5 days at Upalinna Station ($15 pn) which is just 5 minutes from Wilpena Pound. We were lucky enough to be the only ones here on our first night so we were able to choose the best campsite, high on a ridgeline with fantastic views across the ranges. Quite a difficult track into the campsite but managed to get the van in due to it's high clearance. Every evening was spent around the choofer watching the sun setting over the ranges. This one would have to be one of the best spots we've had on the trip so far!

Spent many hours 4 wheel driving through Bunyeroo and Brachina gorges where we stopped to inspect ruins of old abandoned station houses, graves, lookouts, aboriginal etchings, springs etc. We really liked Hans Heysen's old hut that overlooked the beautiful ranges that now bear his name.

We also walked to the old Hills Homestead inside Wilpena Pound and continued up to Wangara lookout which offered fantastic views across the pound.

Fantastic weather while we were here although very cold at night...it got down as low as 1.8°Leer más
