Getting there
The Gawler Ranges are in South Australia, 200km west of Port Augusta. Access is off the Eyre Highway from Iron Knob, Kimba, Wudinna or Minnipa.
When to visit
In late autumn and winter, the park is green and refreshing, perfect for campfires and bushwalks. After rain, the creeks flow and most pools are alive with aquatic life. From late winter into spring, the park teems with wildflowers in incredible shapes, sizes and colours. In spring, you can see the brilliant flowers of local crimson mallee, and the plains are carpeted with native grasses and bluebush. Summer can be scorching, but if you're prepared to work around the weather, you'll have calm days, extraordinary sunsets, and unobstructed views of the starry nights.
