RV TRAVEL
ARKAROOLA WILDERNESS
SANCTUARY
After taking time to enjoy all that the Flinders
Ranges has to offer, especially a must-
do walk in the Pound, proceed north to
Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges and Arkaroola
(the Gammon Ranges are also known as
the Northern Flinders Ranges).
There is accommodation at the Arkaroola
village, or you can set-up at the campground
on the top of a perpetually windy hill
(bush camping is also available in
designated areas).
The Flinders Ranges is home to a
healthy emu population.
Everything about Arkaroola is fascinating.
The owners, Margaret and Doug, are the
daughter and son of Reg and Griselda Sprigg,
a couple whose life story would make an
impossible-to-believe romance/adventure
novel. Margaret is a geologist, like her father,
and Doug is an astronomer as well as a pilot
and diesel mechanic.
They offer scenic flights over Lake Eyre,
guided or self-guided waterhole tours and
walks, tagalong or self-guided 4WD tours,
A breathtaking Arkaroola landscape.
