The Flinders, a Mountain range of scenic grandeur rising sharply from an imperturbable landscape, stretch from the North of Adelaide into the pith of the outback. Dating back to as far as one billion years old they have drawn geologists and paleontologists keen to uncover the hidden fossils that hold the key to our evolution. These mountain ranges have captured the hands of artists and the minds of poets as their seasonal temperamental characteristics leave you spellbound. After the rains in spring, the entire region is an expanse of wildflowers, an awe - inspiring magnitude of bright colours. The seasons bring excitement of unexpected beauty as trees of greens of all shades and rock pools contrast against the desert like rock face. Wilpena Pound, "place of bent fingers," is an impressionable 30mile square elevated basin surrounded by sheer cliffs. Concealed within this unusual land formation, through the gorge, lies a wonderland of wildlife. This natural playground has formed tracks leading to various peaks that offer breathtaking views of the entire region
