Flinders Ranges South AustraliaBirdwatching is a favourite activity as is spotting the diverse animal life, Flinders Ranges Natural Park is situated on an ancient mountain range. Fossils and Aboriginal rock art sites have been discovered here. In the Flinders Ranges of South Australia there are long gorges with purple ridges that change colour during the different daylight hours, eucalypt gum tree lined creeks and waterfalls. The National Park is home to much wildlife and diverse native flora. If your quiet, you may be able to see Yellow-footed rock wallabies at Warrens Gorge. Camping is permitted in certain areas and there are numerous walks and hiking trails of varying difficulty and you can take an indigenous cultural experience and learn about what life was like here for many thousands of years. The park is located in the Flinders Ranges between Hawker and Blinman, two historical towns. Blinman, a mining town, began its life as a copper discovery, it was Robert Blinman, a sheep herder who found the metal here, part of a rock he used to favour sitting on when watching the sheep. I suppose the message here is be careful where you sit. Hawker, another historical outback town is located on the road to the south of the park.
