Wapma Thura–Southern Flinders Ranges National Park, National park in South Australia, Australia.
Wapma Thura-Southern Flinders Ranges National Park is a protected area in South Australia combining mountain peaks, forests, and diverse landscapes. The park contains multiple former conservation reserves with gorges and ranges, offering walking trails and campsites that lead visitors through different natural zones.
The national park was established in 2021 through the union of several existing protected areas into one management structure. This combination brought together different forested landscapes and mountain regions under shared oversight.
The Nukunu people hold deep ties to this country, which appears throughout the landscape in place names and sacred sites. Walking through the park, you encounter the enduring presence of traditional knowledge and connection to the land.
The park provides hiking trails of varying difficulty along with campsites and picnic areas scattered throughout. The best time to visit is during milder seasons when trails are accessible and native wildlife is more active.
The park is jointly managed by Nukunu traditional custodians and the government conservation authority, reflecting an uncommon partnership in land stewardship. This collaboration allows visitors to experience a protected landscape actively maintained through traditional knowledge.
