The
Flinders Ranges are one of the oldest Mountain Ranges in the world, with fossil evidence dating back over 640 million years and today’s weathered remains of a once great mountain that was once up to 6 kilometres high. For over 15,000 years, these ranges where the
home for the local Adnyamathanha Aboriginal people. There are many fine locations in the
Flinders Ranges where their paintings and
rock art sites can be viewed and it is
well worth the time to visit one of these sites.
The
Moralana Scenic Drive (just off the
Flinders Ranges Way, near
Arkaba Station) provides a worthy drive to allow you to experience the beautiful
views of the
Elder Range, including
Arkaba Hill.
Stop at the marked
Arkaba Hill lookout rest area to view
Arkaba Hills and the ranges on your way towards
Wilpena Pound.
