GENERAL INFO
Some tracks are rough and rocky, so we’ll cover shorter distances on those hikes. Full-day walks average 13-18 km. There are great opportunities for fit walkers to challenge themselves, as there are rugged peaks to climb and remote gorges to explore. This trip operates with two experienced and knowledgeable, fun-loving guides so we can offer easier and more challenging walk options along the way.
You’ll enjoy dining at the Woolshed Restaurant – they also have an exclusive range of boutique wines to try. Alcohol or drinks with meals are not included (except tea/coffee and juice with breakfast).
Pre and post-tour accommodation: There are many hotels in Adelaide. We pick up from and drop off at the Terrace Hotel, 208 South Terrace, Adelaide. The tour starts at 8.30 at the Terrace Hotel. We arrive in Adelaide by around 5.00 pm on the last day.

Well organised walk and trip in the Flinders Ranges.

Very well organised trip. The hikes were excellent and certainly valued the experience of the guides who ensured we got the best out of each activity, and each day. Accommodation and food at Rawnsley park Station were better than anticipated. Itinerary was well structured and Georgie and Chris made some good calls to adjust owing to weather, road conditions and changes at Rawnsley lookout. This was my first guided walk in Australia and was very glad I did it. Really enjoyed the week !

We loved this walking holiday. We were so well supported with lots of information. Loved the app. Staff at both locations were exceptional. Highly recommend and can’t wait to do our next one.

I loved this and not knowing what to expect before I came it was so much better than I imagined. The walks were doable and the sense of achievement was satisfying after completing them all, Rose our guide on the walks was calm and encouraging and talked me through the tricky bits and was a gem. We would recommend Auswalks to anyone and loved the hiking plus the great accommodation and food. We have been looking at Queen Charlotte in NZ and Kimberley’s and Kakadu, and many more…

The Auswalk Flinders Ranges walk that we did with friends from Melbourne was a real pleasure. The accommodation was ideal, the walks interesting and varied, the locals friendly and welcoming. Flinders might just be one of those hidden gems.

The scenery was beautiful and the diversity of the walks made each day different which was great. Including a visit to a wombat rescue place, winery and museum added to the experience. Eating at local places was a great idea – good for the local economy – and GREAT for the walkers as the food was exceptional. My Flinders Island experience was filled with great walking, exceptional food and interesting experiences. Thanks to our outstanding guides (David and Kathleen).

It was my first Auswalk trip- I don’t think it gets any better than Kathleen and David. And Jon who are so caring, informative, fun- very flexible, considerate of all people’s abilities. . The walks were stunning, the lodge was so comfy, and the food was so delicious. A perfect holiday!

David & Kathleen once again fabulous guides, very caring & competent. I guess living on the island , knowing it so well.

This was my first trip with AusWalk and it certainly won’t be my last. Our guides, Georgie and Clare, were both terrific and managed each day’s logistics with good humour and organisation.They were also, respectively, good company whilst never compromising their guests’ wellbeing and safety. As a reasonably novice hiker, I never felt any pressure to walk at anything other than my own pace and appreciated the option of a less challenging (still incredible) walk each day. This is in stark contrast to a previous trip I had with a different company and I was relieved and pleased to discover that the mantra “it’s about the journey, not the destination” was a reality with Georgie and Clare.Meals and accommodation provided at Rawnsley Park Station were fine and the station was an excellent choice as a base to rest before the next day’s activities (reviewed separately).As a solo traveller, I’m always a little apprehensive regarding potential group dynamics but Georgie and Clare were very inclusive, creating a happy group of hikers throughout the trip. That’s not always easy to do, I imagine, but they certainly managed this comfortably and indiscernibly.Overall, I loved this trip – from my first inquiries and questions to AusWalk through to a wonderful 5 days away, I can’t fault any aspects of it – extraordinary landscapes, good company, and comfortable accommodation made for a wonderful holiday.

Our two guides were friendly and well organised. Everything went smoothly and we had lots of fun.The walking was challenging but there were several options so you could choose at the level you wanted.What a fantastic group of people, with so much laughter, conversation, sharing and getting to know each other

We have travelled with AusWalk twice – once on a guided walk in the Flinders Range and the second a self guided walk in the Victoria Alps. Both were excellent – well planned, great walking notes, comfortable accommodation and good meals. On the guided walks the guides were knowledgable of the local area – history and environment – and managed the group well. The walks varied from easy to quite challenging and this was clearly explained by the guides and in the notes. There were no surprises when it came to where we were going and what to expect. The AusWalk staff are excellent – they were able to rearrange our self guided walk to take into account some changes to our circumstances. We will certainly use AusWalk again.

I enjoyed a fabulous walking tour in the Flinders Ranges with Auswalk. Encouraging, interesting, competent guides, and plenty of flexibility with the walks that kept everyone participating. Wonderful countryside. Lovely accommodation and scrumptious food.

This was our second Auswalk, this time to the Flinders Ranges in South Australia. It was a great experience – the walking was interesting, and with more than one guide, it’s good that they can sometimes offer harder and easier options. Comfortable accommodation, and great meals – you’ll never go hungry.

We did the Flinders Rangers with Auswalk. The guides were excellent and made sure we had a positive experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the walking. We had a lovely bunch of people in our group, and the food and accomodation was great.

My wife and I very much enjoyed a week of walking through the Flinders Ranges with Auswalk. The guides (Marie and Merrell) were brilliant – helpful, informative and very professional. The accommodation was comfortable, the food provided was very good (and plentiful) and the walks offered were excellent. Highly recommended.
