The Flinders Ranges start several hundred kilometres north of Adelaide and are one of the top tourist destinations in our state. Nowadays they are easily accessible in a standard vehicle as there are bitumen roads to the main towns. For the more adventurous there are still many offroad tracks to explore; in 4 wheel drives and on foot.In 2002 when I took this photo I was on a cycling tour in the northern Flinders Ranges with a local Adelaide based cycling group.; another great way to explore the beautiful countryside.
The Flinders Ranges were named after the English explorer who mapped our coastline in 1802. His favourable reports lead to the establishment of the new colony of South Australia.

That sounds like a holiday, a bike ride through Flinders.
Looked like you have fun. Nice photo of outdoor.
When I saw the name Flinders I immediately recalled the nursery rhyme
little Polly Flinders
sits among the cinders
can't remember the rest of it
perhaps she was related to the explorer!
