Wilpena Pound, shaped like a massive natural amphitheatre really needs to be seen from the air to appreciate its vastness. The area has been of religious significance for thousands of years. Wildlife is abundant here, with Red Kangaroos, Wallaroos, Emus, Wedge-Tailed Eagles and many species of parrott commonly sighted.

The National Park and the area around here is the sole domain of the beautiful and rare Yellow-footed rock wallaby. Once close to extinction, careful controls on land use and feral animal mangement have seen their numbers slowly increase.

There are many great walks in the region, ranging from short walks into the Pound to see the resored Hill Homestead, home to the family that farmed the land for over a decade at the beginning of the century, to longer more strenuous hikes like St Mary's peak. An eight hour return jouney,this climb to the highest point in the Flinders offers unbelievable views as a reward.
