Flinders Ranges and Heysen Trail (WFLIN) Duration: 7 Days/6 Nights Tour Grade: Easy/Moderate Grade Accommodation: Homestead Accommodation Included: All transport (ex Adelaide), accommodation, meals, wine, entry fees and guide.

The Flinders Ranges are an ancient and spectacular mountain range filled with stunning scenery and rich in Aboriginal and European heritage. They are traversed by the Heysen Trail, a long distance walking trail stretching over 1,500 kilometres through South Australia.

We walk through deep gorges of red quartzite, under towering bluffs and to hidden springs and rock pools. Sightings of euros, red kangaroos, emus, and flocks of colourful parrots are common. We visit historic mines and settler' s ruins, Aboriginal rock carvings and cave paintings. This is the landscape that inspired Sir Hans Heysen, South Australia's most famous artist.

We visit the crater-like formation of Wilpena Pound, a natural amphitheatre ringed by saw-tooth peaks and an important feature in Aboriginal mythology. We take in European heritage at the historic Blinman and ruins of Kanyaka Homestead.

We stay at an historic, outback pastoral property and experience this very Australian lifestyle. We walk without packs and return to our accommodation each night.
