This vast region extends from the southern Flinders Ranges near Melrose to Innamincka in the State's far north nearly 1100 kilometres from Adelaide. The Outback borders the Northern Territory, Queensland, Western Australia and New South Wales. It covers 80% of the State's area but has less than 1% of its population. Anna Creek cattle station alone is larger than Great Britain. It is a land of extreme contrasts from arid cattle grazing lands in the north to the magnificent wetlands of the Coongie Lakes system.
The region contains seven significant National and Conservation Reserves and visitors should allow several days to explore the Flinders Ranges and at least a week to go "Outback". Discover why this ancient land means so much to the Aboriginal people who have lived here for thousands of years. Harsh and beautiful at the same time, it's a land of tree-lined gorges and desert plains that stretch to the horizon. There is an outback adventure to suit everyone:
-Scale a mountain peak for a breathtaking view
-Soar with the eagles over the ranges or lakes systems on a scenic flight
-Set-up camp under a sky of a million stars
-Learn about the Aboriginal Dreamtime
-Steam through the passes and plains on an historic railway
-See harsh deserts transformed into a sea of wildflowers after sudden rains
