The Gammon Ranges National Park covers an area of over 1280 km2, roughly centred around Arkaroola. The scenery in this northern part of the Flinders Ranges tends to be more rugged and dry than the southern bit. The narrow gorges like the Weetootla gorge or the Balcanoona gorge are excellent places to observe local wildlife like hill kangaroos, corellas and even red dragonflies.
For us, approaching from the north, the sudden view of a mountainous silhouette was a big change (even if those mountains were actually not that high) after weeks of flat deserts! It was in fact the end of our desert experience, we would now only travel thru hilly landscape or coastal scenery.
