Flinders Ranges and Outback Family Holidays
A life changing experience
Go on a real family holiday. Take your kids to the Flinders Ranges and outback of South Australia. They’ll never forget it. It’s a life changing experience.
There are farm stays, station stays (working cattle stations), accommodation on the edge of town. Kangaroos bound past at dusk and dawn. At night, see wide orange sunsets and the waking possums, as they scuttle through the trees.
New experiences
Camp under clear skies, talk together beside a campfire and watch the stars. It’s a great chance to get them outdoors, away from the sofa and show them the Australian outback.
If you only want a shorter trip, take them to the Southern Flinders. There are beautiful towns like Wilmington, Melrose, Quorn and the accessible walking trails of places like Alligator Gorge.
Make special memories
If you’ve got longer, then why not do the trip of a lifetime to Wilpena Pound, the Birdsville Track or Lake Eyre? Show them how big, remote and beautiful this country is.
Hunt for ancient marine reptile fossils. Experience Dreamtime stories. The kids will be proud when they make it to the top of a peak and look over the vast, red landscape around them.
Learn our history
They’ll learn more in a few days here than in a year of geography lessons at school. The observatories and astronomers of Arkaroola will teach them about the universe. Learn how it was for the first Australians who lived in the Flinders Ranges for thousands of years. Find out what it was like for early European settlers.
Take them to explore what life is like in remote Australia today. Help them to truly understand what it means when a poem speaks of drought and flooding rain.
Visit the Flinders Ranges and outback, it’s a true blue family adventure.
