Australia has the world’s oldest visible geology on Earth and much of this can be found in the Flinders Ranges. The gorges around Wilpena Pound Resort provide an ancient and fascinating history of the Flinders Ranges, and are visible in the fossil layers and referred to as the ‘Corridor Through Time’. On this tour, you will also learn about Adnyamathanha Dreaming, which is still very strong in traditional Yarta (land).

Explore more than 100 million years of this history as well as marveling at the rugged beauty of Brachina and Bunyeroo Gorges. Search for Yellow Footed Rock Wallabies and enjoy sweeping views of Bunyeroo Valley and the eastern wall of Wilpena Pound. Visitors will learn about the rugged mountains including the moss rocks with their contrasting colours and the ever-changing flora of the area, especially after the rain.
