OUTBACK ADVENTURE in SOUTH AUSTRALIA: Road Trip in Flinders Ranges in 2019

Wilpena Pound (Ikara) - Flinders Ranges - South Australian Outback

This video is about Ikara - Wilpena Pound - in the Flinders Ranges of South Australia. Situated five hours north of Adelaide this slice of the Australian Outback is very accessible. You'll have to watch out for kangaroos, emus and cattle along the way!

Wilpena Pound, in The Flinders Ranges National Park (South Australia), offers a range of hikes for all experience and fitness levels. Situated in one of the most ancient landscapes on the planet,
It's worth considering adding this lesser-known Australian beauty to your hiking bucket list!

Mount Ohlssen Bagge at 923m/3,028ft is a great half day hike offering splendid views inside and outside Wilpena Pound. Steep and strenuous in parts - a great warm up for St Mary Peak.

Ngarri Mudlanha, St Mary's Peak, is the highest peak in The Flinders Ranges at 1,171m /3,842ft, offering unrivalled 360 degree views, including views into the Aroona Valley and vast salt plains to the west.

Expect quiet trails and a bit of scrambling to get to the top. The loop walk offers a chance to stride out/ warm down on the homeward leg as you chase the setting sun filtering through the 'forest' on the Pound floor. In August the countryside is a watercolor of green - this is a special time to be here before the harsh summer heat tones things down.

The geology is fascinating - the home of the anticline and geosyncline with mountain ranges running at right angles to one another.

On clear days budgie-blue skies embrace the vibrant dusty orange ocre outcrops. Enormous ancient gum trees punctuate the Pound Floor - many are several hundreds of years old. Feral goats, rock wallabies, parrots, snakes (in warmer weather) and colorful lizards abound.

Ep. 16 Wonders of South Australia - Everywhere Together

After leaving Coober Pedy, we take the Oodnadatta Track and reach the Flinders Ranges. We stop at a few places to admire the natural wonders and say hi to the local wildlife: kangaroos, emus, and a dingo. We arrive back to the coastline just as the weather turns colder. Adelaide, here we come!
