Flinders Ranges National Park, SA, Australia

Here a few photos taken at Flinders Ranges NP. It is located a few hundred km north of Adelaide, SA. Its climate is dominated by hot wind from the centre of the continent. Flinders Ranges NP is surrounded by several salt lakes, because the country surrounding the ranges lies, to a large extent, below sealevel. The plural "ranges" is always used, because there are several, roughly parallel crests of rock of different geological ages sticking out of the surrounding, low-lying country. One of the park's major attractions, Wilpena Pound, derives its name from the fact that it is shaped like a cupped hand. Note that some photos presented on this website are available FOR SALE.
