This specially created departure for the Australian Geographic Society treks deep in to the North Flinders Ranges of South Australia's Outback.We have selected our favorite sections of the Heysen Trail in the Flinders Ranges and combined it with the attractive Riesling Trail in the Clare Valley. The Flinders Ranges offer a rolling range of majestic peaks and rugged ridges, the trails combining exceptional views with enjoyable strolls and achievable challenges. The forests of cypress pines create an almost alpine ambiance in these semi-arid ranges with the dry climate creating ideal conditions for walking.
