A visit to the Flinders Ranges National Park will give you an idea of the diversity of Australia’s outback. This mountainous national park is one of South Australia’s most interesting destinations, thanks to its rugged landscape and Aboriginal heritage. Wilpena Pound, known as Ikara to the local Aborigine people, is a spectacular natural basin shaped like an amphitheater and is a highlight of the park. On the southeastern rim of Wilpena Pound lies Arkaroo Rock, where you can see ancient indigenous rock paintings and drawings. There are other picturesque natural landmarks in the vicinity of Flinders Ranges National Park as well, like St. Mary Peak and Rawnsley Bluff.
