DAY 2 FLINDERS RANGES 

Get a feel for one of the most surreal landscapes on earth – the Flinders Ranges. A place where Indigenous culture and heritage meets natural beauty, it's truly like no other place. Visit the natural amphitheatre of Wilpena Pound, a crater formed by an ancient meteor strike. Hike through some nearby desert tracks. Then in the afternoon view some traditional Indigenous rock paintings. Tonight perhaps even share a drink with the locals! (B, L, D)

We start early today, in order to catch the sunrise at Kata Tjuta (The Olgas). This dramatic collection of 36 domes is a world-renowned site of natural beauty, with plenty of flora and fauna to discover. Then we’ll pay a visit to Kings Creek Station, a working cattle farm in the middle of the Red Centre, before arriving at our destination of Kings Canyon Station. Cool off with a swim before dinner perhaps? (B, L, D)
