Located in the heart of the Flinders Ranges National Park, Ikara - The Meeting Place is an award-winning public art space that shares an important story of the Adnyamathanha people. The Adnyamathanha community has widely endorsed sharing information with visitors about their land to encourage a deeper appreciation of Aboriginal culture. This contemporary artwork represents the first attempt within the Flinders Ranges (and South Australia) to acknowledge and interpret the impact of pastoralism on an Indigenous community. Ikara provides an inspirational space where Adnyamathanha people can share their culture with park visitors and discuss the role played by their community as the pastoral industry developed. Ikara is the second stage of the award-winning "Living with Land Interpretive Trail". Its presence at Old Wilpena Station, one of the best-preserved pastoral heritage sites in Australia, reinforces its moving story, as this land is also of spiritual significance to the Adnyamathanha people. The Adnyamathanha people translate the word Wilpena as Ikara meaning 'meeting place'.

Witjira National Park covers 7,770 square kilometres of gibber, sand dunes, stony tablelands and floodplain country on the western edge of the Simpson Desert in far north South Australia. It is truly spectacular country with vast landscapes including many areas of considerable archaeological, biological and geological interest. Witjira National Park is one of the most popular Desert Parks featuring more than 120 mound springs surrounded by lush vegetation and an abundance of wildlife. The park has recently upgraded visitor facilities and the nearby campgrounds offer a good base to explore the park. You can even swim in the warm waters of the Dalhousie Main Spring. The thermal springs are home to several unique species of fish such as the Dalhousie goby and other rare aquatic life. The springs are also a haven for arid land birdlife. If you're lucky enough to be visiting the park a few weeks after a soaking rain, you'll be rewarded with the ephemeral wildflowers bursting into bloom. The park is part of the lands associated with the Lower Southern Arrernte and Wangkangurru people who in 1989 formed the Irrwanyere Aboriginal Corporation, which co-manages the park with the Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources.

The Painted Desert is an area of spectacular colourful hills. It's an amazing sight - you'll see rocky outcrops of large and small hills, which emerge suddenly out of a flat, desert landscape. It's perhaps best viewed in bright sunlight which brings out vivid colours such as ochre yellow, oxide red, and deep, rich brown, contrasting with crisp whites and jet blacks. Created more than 80 million years ago, the it forms part of the spectacular breakaway country, located 50 kilometres south west of Oodnadatta. The Painted Desert is a superb example of the forces of nature weathering and eroding the desert landscape. Air access tours to the Painted Desert is available through Trevor Wright of Wrightsair, from William Creek, Coober Pedy and Arkaroola. Costs apply for scenic flights.
