Overview

The Flinders Ranges is an awe-inspiring outback wonder with weathered rocky peaks and views over the ranges stretching as far as the horizon – truly an adventurer’s delight. Amazing sunrises and sunsets gleam off the red rocks, the stars burn bright at night, and the area hums with an ancient aura that you can only experience in the vast terrain of Australia’s interior. Over four days, you will walk down ancient river beds, past huge river red gums, and up spectacular peaks to gaze at landscapes formed in Earth’s ancient history. 

While this trip is packed with hiking, there is still plenty of time in the evenings for enjoying a glass of wine while our guides prepare a delicious dinner. With all your food, transport, and planning taken care of, you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve in a few short days. Our chauffeured bus will pick you up and return you to Adelaide Airport and you will stay in a secluded and quiet accommodation. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience an iconic Australian destination.

Day 1 Welcome

Hotel
Lunch
Dinner
We pick you up from either Adelaide CBD at a pre arranged spot or the Airport before driving north. We head towards Melrose for lunch and then enjoy a short side trip down the steep road to Alligator Gorge. Here, we enjoy a scenic walk along the terraces and down the valley to make a loop. Back in the vehicle and full of fuel, we will continue north into drier country as we pass Port Augusta and into the Flinders Ranges. Once we reach our accommodation, you'll get time to relax, eat, and get ready to explore!
Day 2 Rawnsley Bluff and Mount Ohlssen Bagge

Hotel
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
A double peak day! To make the most of our four day trip, we head off early this morning to climb Rawnsley Bluff. This out-and-back walk provides great views over the ranges and you will start to get used to the terrain as you tackle the rocky paths. We will then head into Wilpena Pound for a lunch break before starting our second walk later in the afternoon, climbing as far as we want up Mount Olssen Bagge. This hike gives us a different view of the pound and has photo opportunities all the way up. Because this is an out-and-back hike, you will be able to take your time and enjoy the views or work hard to ascend to the top of this second summit.
Day 3 Tanderra saddle

Hotel
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
Today we start walking from Wilpena pound resort heading along the edge of Wilpena pound before climbing up and over into the pound via Tanderaa saddle, a spectacular climb!

Hotel
Breakfast
Lunch
We'll be on the road around 8 am, heading south to the unique Jeff Morgan Gallery. This 360° gallery has some incredible paintings of the Flinders Ranges and it's a wonderful experience to view these after having been to the actual locations. You can grab yourself a souvenir before jumping back on the bus to continue south. Stop at the Kanyaka ruins for a short stretch and then onto Port Germain Pier for lunch. Returning to the bus for the last time, you can reflect on your achievements, walking, and great new trail friends.

Accommodation

Accommodation in outback Australia is sparse, but we love the cosy house at Willow Springs Station with access to a big open fire pit, and views across the ranges. The large communal dining area, lounge and comfortable bedrooms, with separate facilities are a very welcome and comfortable place to rest your head. Normally 2 per room, some single supplements available.

Food

We prepare and cook your delicious and nutritious dinners, lunches, all snacks and breakfast. We are big food enthusiasts so be prepared to have freshly ground coffee, yummy snacks and fresh fruit, beautiful vegetable based salads, wraps and cheeses. All this food is energy filled to sustain you on the track - oh! and let's not forget a sneaky desert or two and a refreshing beverage. We can cater for the majority of nutritional needs. We are not a licensed company so we can’t provide alcohol, though you are welcome to bring a bottle to share.

What our adventurers have said

I had a blast on the Flinders Ranges trip. I thought it was well organised and the food was amazing! I did underestimate all the uphill walks but the views from the top made it all worth it! Thanks to the guides who motivated me all the way! - Gail

WHY CHOOSE
TAKE SHAPE ADVENTURES

FRIENDSHIP

Most of the people that come on our tours come by themselves. Our community is built on friendships that have been made on our trips, experiencing something life changing together, the shared memories and also goals to do more in the future! We encourage people not to be anxious about coming on these trips by yourself as we promise you will leave with some like minded friends and be really glad you made the decision to get out of your comfort zone and join in.

BELONG

Our community is our backbone. We have had so many people start with no hiking experience, basic fitness and not knowing anyone on our trips. These same people have gone on to do some incredible multi day hiking trips with us and their friends they have met in our community. Witnessing the development of their fitness, confidence, experience, friendships and happiness is why we do what we do. Come join us and let us help you get from the couch to the top of the mountain!

ADVENTURE

Experiences, not things. The moments that take your breath away. The feeling of accomplishment and the realisation that you are capable of so much more than what you thought. The views that blow your mind and the ticking off of bucket list items. We take all the hard work out of it for you. We organise the lot so you can just turn up and get the best of your experience without all the headaches of organising/logistics. We make it easy for you to do all the thing you want to do – you just need to turn up and be ready to jump into life!
