The Land
- Southern Outback
You
will marvel at the spectacular outback, a seemingly endless
expanse of natural beauty amidst a region of stunning contrasts.
Discover the best of these colourful, rugged, Outback mountain
ranges. With its spectacular gorges, cool waterholes and towering
peaks, much of the land has been set-aside as sanctuaries
and parks. The colours, the vastness, the stories and the
wildlife will quickly convince you that this is a special
place. In this seemingly harsh and barren country a profusion
of wildlife has developed unusual survival techniques.
The
Flinders Ranges punctuate a huge expanse of "The Australian
Vastness." This awe-inspiring region is home to several of
our intimate lodges featuring sprawling verandas, situated
in 250 square miles of pristine wilderness. You can explore
on 4X4 trips, ride horses with Aboriginal guides, hike the
beautiful mountains and enjoy hearty Australian Outback cuisine
and the choice wines of the region. Once you have witnessed
a sunset from atop a bluff on these age-old ranges, you will
fully understand why your hosts have made it their home.
An unforgettable marine adventure awaits you as you travel
west to the beginning of the Great Australian Bight where
sandstone cliffs soar from the pristine ocean. Your host and
honorary Park Ranger will take you swimming with sea lions
and dolphins in a remote secluded bay. You'll see, firsthand,
some of the conservation efforts underway to protect this
precious marine life. Go to Property
