Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges National Park

Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges is a national park in the Flinders Ranges featuring deep gorges, high plateaus, and diverse landscapes across approximately 1,257 square kilometers. Numerous trails pass through mountainous terrain, offering different ways to explore the region.

European explorers first reached the ranges in 1840 when Edward Eyre discovered the area, and the region was later mapped by Surveyor General Edward Charles Frome. These early explorations established the foundation for understanding the region's geography.

The Adnyamathanha people have deep ties to this land and actively participate in managing the park. Their knowledge of the region shapes how visitors experience and understand the landscape today.

Most trails within the park require four-wheel-drive vehicles to reach, so plan your route and prepare your equipment ahead of time. Camping spots must be reserved online in advance, as there are no on-site registration options available.

Lake Frome within the park is a vast saltwater lake stretching about 100 kilometers in length. The water remains closed to visitors during specific hours each day to allow for traditional hunting practices.
