EXPLORING THE NORTHERN FLINDERS RANGES.

To reach the northern Flinders Ranges from the west or south, travel to Port Augusta 300km north of Adelaide. Just south of the city is a turn-off to Quorn via Stirling North. Take this road and continue to Quorn. Along the road, to the north, you will see the railway line for the Pitchi Richi Tourist Railway 'Afghan Express', a steam train which runs between Quorn and Port Augusta on Saturdays between April and November.
There is an historic mill and an agricultural museum in this attractive small town which also offers a range of accommodation and general services.
Take the road north to Warren and Buckeringa Gorges then head east to rejoin the B83 (Marree Rd) at Death Rock and continue north to Hawker stopping at the Camels Hump and Castle Hill Lookouts and the Yourambulla Caves.
Hawker is the southern entrance to the ranges and is surrounded with attractions to visit. As a touring centre it is in close proximity to most of the major attractions of the area and has an airstrip, hotel/motel, caravan park, holiday units, general shopping services, a hospital and an historic pub.
There is an accredited information centre and a 30 metre art panorama of the Wilpena Pound at the Jeff Morgan Gallery.
After visiting the attractions around Hawker continue north to Leigh Creek and Copley and turn east to the Gammon Ranges National Park and visit the gorges, caves and the hot springs. There are plenty of walk trails and camping spots and you should spend a couple of days before returning south from the junction near the Balcanoona Park Ranger's office 40km to the turn-off to Blinman and return through the park to Hawker.
The Heysen Trail runs through much of the park and you can join this renowned walking trail between Parachilna Gorge and Quorn at Wilpena Pound, Hawker or many other places along the way.
