Come for a life-changing experience.
Take your kids to the Flinders Ranges and outback of South Australia. They’ll never forget it. It’s a life changing experience.
There are farm stays, station stays on cattle stations, caravan parks and bushland cottages. Kangaroos bound past at dusk and dawn. At dusk, see the wide orange sunset and the waking possums as they scuttle through the trees.
New experiences
Camp under the clearest skies, sit around the campfire, chat and watch the stars. It’s a great chance to show your kids the real Australian outback, the type of open space that you just can’t appreciate on television or the movies.
For short trips, visit the Southern Flinders Ranges and beautiful towns such as Wilmington, Melrose and Quorn.
The accessible walking trails in places like Alligator Gorge are virtual open-history books with ancient fossils and Aboriginal rock art.
