Tour Description
This special Banksia Adventure will provide you with rare access to one of Australia’s most sought-after destinations. Touring in the magnificent Flinders Ranges is an experience not to be missed with its majestic ranges and rugged scenery. In summer, there are clear blue skies lowering to a purple haze over the mountains. Contrasting shadows create eerie patterns in the canyons and gorges. This is just one example of the magical ever-changing light of the Flinders Ranges.
Travel north in air-conditioned comfort with your local guide, through picturesque countryside and historic villages into the Clare Valley. This beautiful region is famous for its wines and you will have an opportunity to visit one of the wineries.
You continue your journey northward into the Southern Flinders Ranges, travelling towards the country towns of Wilmington and Quorn and visiting the historic town of Melrose from which you’ll see Mount Remarkable, the most striking geological upheaval in the Southern Flinders, The area is famous for its nature-filled valleys and riverbeds. Lined with massive River Red Gum trees, they are home to a multitude of native Australian animals and birds.
Warren Gorge is one of the few gorges in the Flinders Ranges that is a natural habitat to the Yellow-footed Rock Wallabies, Kangaroo’s, Kookaburra’s and Emu’s to name only a few. Travel through Pichi Richi Pass, following the historic Old Ghan Railway line. Enjoy splendid panoramic views over the Spencer Gulf. With the waters of the Gulf on one side and the magnificent ranges on the other, you travel back towards Adelaide.
