This Autumn programme is set for the second time at Willow Springs, a 240 square kilometer sheep station, 21 km north of Wilpena Pound and owned by Brendan and Carmel Reynolds. Several major, spectacular gorges are found nearby and tracks on the property lead through majestic river red gum-lined creeks, groves of native pines and black oaks. A 4wd tour (Sky Trek) includes the summit of Mt Caernarvon, the highest vehicle access point in the Flinders Ranges. It offers a breathtaking and unforgettable ”eagles“ view of the Flinders landscape.

Moolooloo is a working sheep station carrying 6000 wool sheep and is set in a beautiful valley about 20 km north-west of Blinman. Moololoo Station is owned by Keith and Lisa Slade.  With a splendid mix of rounded and more rugged hills, tree lined creeks, an abundance of native pines, Moolooloo offers delightful country  for walking and exploring and experiencing the early days of copper mining and pastoralism in South Australia. A rich array of flowering native shrubs and grasses make the area a botanist's paradise. The shearers’ quarters accommodation offers a delightful combination of the old and the new.

This station is owned by Tony and Lesley Nicholls. Experience the story of the traditional owners of the Flinders Ranges, the Adnyamathanha people. Join the Coulthard family from Iga Warta as they relate their story of dispossession and dislocation, life on the mission, their acceptance of western culture, departure from their land and finally their return and resettlement   in their homeland at Iga Warta, established in 1996. Recently, after 15 years of negotiations, the Adnyamathanha have been granted Native Title over much of the Flinders Ranges. Come and hear their stories, learn of their complex moiety system, visit art sites, take a bush tucker ramble, join in a campfire singsong, learn some of their language, adopt a totem and immerse yourself in this incredibly rich and ancient culture.

Gum Creek Station is a small sheep station now turning to    ecotourism under the inspired leadership of Bill and Jane Mclntosh who have consistently demonstrated exemplary stewardship of their land. Gum Creek is an ideal location to examine God's earliest life on earth. God has a plan for life on Earth. Man represents the pinnacle of Creation but his beginnings were very humble indeed. Join us in tracing the origin of life from billion year old bacteria to half billion year old more complex multi-celled creatures which evolved in an early sea. Wander through 150 million years of time with rocks containing evidence of earth's oldest multi-celled life and in surroundings containing magnificent red gums, rugged spectacular gorges and yellow footed rock wallabies.
