Wilpena Pound, Flinders Ranges South Australia

Wilpena Pound Resort is around 170km inland from Port Augusta West, South Australia. We travelled in our Campervan and on arrival booked into the National Park camping area. The resort and park are very popular around this time of the year. We found the facilities in the park clean and tidy, every thing was nice and orderly, with no pets allowed, giving us a restful quiet nights stop over. The main purpose of our visit was to view this amazing geological area, along with the wild flowers that are purported to grow in the area. The options of things to do is fly over the pound, go on a guided tour or walk through a well worn path to the Old "Homestead" then climb up hill to a very well placed lookout over this phenomenal geological area. The native flowers were not prolific this year, but blue flowers were scattered in dells all around the area. We visited the resort, enjoying our morning coffee break. We then set off for around trip walking past the Homestead and on up to the lookout to view the pound.
