The Flinders Ranges is nature on a grand scale. Magnificent and uncompromising landscapes; truly a destination to get away from it all. Though the Ranges seem a million miles from the city life, the southern areas of the Flinders Ranges begin only 220kms out of Adelaide.

Although driving to the Flinders in 4Wd is legendary, much of the Flinders is easy for two-wheel vehicles. There are half and full day tours widely available right across the region. For many, it's a safer option - it's essential to check with the locals before you head out onto any of the Outback tracks. There are a variety of tours to see the Indigenous artwork recorded at many cave sites. The best known of these is Yourambulla Caves, south of the historic town of Hawker.

Make sure you set foot on the Birdsville Track - just one of those essential ingredients in any Outback holiday, although it's much more comfortable getting there these days than in years gone by. Between Marree and Marla is the Oodnadatta Track and the vastness of Lake Eyre. When the lake floods, its big news. That's the time to catch a flight over its 8,430 square kilometre surface and wonder at the birds that flock there.

The Outback is the place to relax under a coolibah tree or take a tour spotting stars in clear night skies. The largest privately owned observatory in Australia is located at Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary. Join the Heysen Trail for a while and walk through a land that has been changing and yet remained unchanged for 600 million years.

Coober Pedy, opal capital of the world, was built on the riches of its mines. No cave-dwelling native animal could ever have dreamed up luxury accommodations to match the ingenuity of the locals who live and play underground to avoid the searing summer heat. You can still go opal 'noodling' here or maybe even rub shoulders with the film crews who made Breakaways Reserve, 34kms north, a favourite location.
