Ikara / Flinders Ranges National Park in the Central Flinders Ranges

Ikara / Flinders Ranges National Park contains scenery of jagged ranges, combined with white ghost gums on the banks of small watercourses.  The sides of the peaks reveal ancient layers or rocks, which are a living geology lesson.    Amongst this scenery lives the rare Yellow Footed Rock Wallaby, emus, and kangaroos, while wedge tailed eagles, galahs, and native parrots soar through the skies or chatter amongst the bushes.  This is scenery which has inspired painters, poets and now photographers, for generations.

Experience: A tour of Wilpena Pound, and Ikara / Flinders Ranges National Park to view native wildlife in the wild.  A tour of the night sky, in an area away from the main accommodation and 45 kilometres from the nearest town, to maximise stargazing opportunities.

Accommodation: Two nights accommodation in a self contained holiday cabin at Rawnsley Park Station with views of Wilpena Pound.  Accommodation can be upgraded to the award-winning eco villas at additional cost.

Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary

Arkaroola features rugged mountains, towering granite peaks, magnificent gorges and mysterious waterholes, the home to over 160 species of birds and the shy and endangered Yellow-footed Rock-wallaby.   Arkaroola offers three fully equipped astronomical observatories, each located well above the Village area, to ensure your maximum night-skies viewing experience.  The nearest town is 130kms away, so the chance of light pollution is minimal.

Experience:  A tour of the night sky in one of the Sanctuary’s three observatories.  A half day 4WD tour of the Sanctuary, to view the Ranges and wildlife.

Accommodation:  One nights accommodation in a motel style unit at Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary.
