Creating the Southern Flinders Precinct

The Remarkable Southern Flinders Project is a jointly funded Australian Government and South Australian Government initiative secured through the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife which will see $10 million invested in new mountain biking and hiking trails and visitor facilities in the Southern Flinders Ranges.

The rugged landscape of the Southern Flinders adventure tourism precinct features ranges, peaks, gorges and forests, including high-quality native vegetation and reservoirs, which stretch from Beetaloo to Wilmington. Many of these locations are already popular for camping and bushwalking with trails for all ages and abilities.

The visitor experience in the Southern Flinders will be enhanced through the development of new and improved visitor facilities including:

• Developing a world-class mountain biking destination• Creating trails for hiking, including new iconic

multi-day hikes• Upgrading and expanding campgrounds to

provide camping for a wider variety of vehicles and experiences.

The Remarkable Southern Flinders Project will create a new nature based tourism destination in the Southern Flinders Ranges.
