Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary

Arkaroola is a privately owned and operated 610-sq.-km (235-sq.-mile) wilderness sanctuary at the far northern tip of the Flinders. The accommodations here are in comfortable motel-style units, or at the caravan park and campsites. Even more stunning visually than the southern Flinders and Wilpena Pound, Arkaroola features rugged mountains, soaring granite peaks, deep gorges and waterholes. It is also home to more than 160 species of birds and the rare yellow-footed rock wallaby. The 4-hour four-wheel-drive ridge-top tour, run by the sanctuary, that travels along the spine of the mountains to a stunning lookout is a must (A$99 adult; A$66 children). With no light pollution, it is also one of the best places to view the night sky, and there are two observatories on the property. A "Tour the Universe" observatory tour costs A$40 per person. Scenic flights are also available.
