Flinders Ranges National Park is known for rugged mountain ranges, spectacular gorges, creeks lined with River Red Gums and abundant wildlife.

It is one of South Australia's most popular tourist destinations, world renowned for its geological history, Aboriginal rock art sites, impressive fossil remains, and ruins of early European settlement.

You may be lucky enough to spot a Yellow-footed Rock-wallaby. These beautifully marked creatures were almost pushed to extinction, exploited for their skins. They also faced competition from introduced stock and predation from foxes. Thanks to conservation programs, the Yellow-footed Rock-wallaby is now regularly seen in Brachina and Wilkawillina gorges, and also Bunyeroo Gorge or around the edge of Wilpena Pound.

Take one of our walking trails, including a section of South Australia's longest - the Heysen Trail. See Old Wilpena Station, Brachina Gorge and Aroona Valley. A series of marked trails and companion brochures are located around the park. The Heysen Trail, which extends for 1200 kilometres from Cape Jervis in the south to Parachilna in the north, is marked with red and white markers and is accessible from Wilpena, Aroona, Trezona, Yanyanna, Parachilna and Black Gap. The Heysen Trail is closed during summer between 1 December and 31 March each year and on days of total fire ban.
