ITINERARY
DAY 1 | Depart Adelaide / Arkaroo Rock / Northern Flinders Ranges
Leaving Adelaide this morning, we head north in our comfortable minibus, ready for adventure in the stunning Northern Flinders Ranges. After a stop for coffee and a leg stretch at Port Wakefield, we will notice the landscape change as the Flinders Ranges gradually rises on our eastern side.
Next stop is at Quorn, a pretty outback town and popular filming location. Here you will enjoy a fresh and healthy lunch.
Continuing further north, we arrive at Akurra Adnya ‘Arkaroo Rock’. A place to stretch your legs and connect with this gorgeous country and indigenous songline. Meeting us here and welcoming us to this Country is our Adnyamathanha guide for the afternoon. You will be taken on a gentle 2 hour walk through this culturally significant area, which is home to rock art that is more than 6000 years of age.
Then its a short drive to Rawnsley Park Station in time for a sunset walk and dinner by the campfire.
Meals Included: Lunch, Trail Snacks, 2 Course Dinner
Walking Distance: 4km

DAY 2 | Alison Saddle / Black Gap / Bridle Gap / Wilpena Pound
A short sunrise walk to Alison Saddle will showcase the Flinders Ranges rainbow as we call it. The colours of the landscape change by the minute as the light touches the lands around the Station. After breakfast, its a scenic drive to our next walks starting point at Black Gap.
We will follow the Heysen Trail for approx. 15km up and over Bridle Gap into the spectacular Wilpena Pound. The views are amazing. Lunch will be enjoyed along the way and we have a chance to visit the Wilpena resort café and store.

DAY 3 | Rawnsley Bluff / Wilpena Pound
Today’s main walk is challenging but we do offer alternatives. The walk up to Rawnsley Bluff is rated moderate to difficult, but is also a lot of fun and adventurous on the rocky sections.
There are two great viewing points that highlight Wilpena Pound from a different angle and the ranges on the eastern side of the Bluff. We will take a packed lunch as this walk will take 5-6 hours in total.
The alternative walk for today is to stick to easier trails at Rawnsley Station or in Wilpena Pound. Or take a scenic flight over Wilpena Pound (own expense and subject to availability and weather).
We share our final evening with a Flinders sunset, and a well-earned Australiana themed 2 course dinner at the Woolshed Restaurant.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Trail Snacks, 2 Course Dinner
Walking Distance: 16km

DAY 4 | Warren Gorge / Drive to Adelaide

Journeying south, we head to our next walk at Warren Gorge. A picturesque jaunt on the trails, and your chance to farewell this wonderful land.
Then we will start our journey back to Adelaide with comfort stops along the way. Our lunch stop will be at an iconic bakery (known for gourmet pies and quandong tarts)… it is a must.
We take a scenic afternoon drive through the Clare Valley as we arrive back into Adelaide at approx. 5:30pm. Please do not book flights for this evening.
