Cross the historic town of Melrose and begin the easy, scenic climb of Mt Remarkable. Orchids and colorful wildflowers decorate your journey between March and November, and you'll see emus and wallaroos, kookaburras, cockatoos and galahs (cockatoo rosalbins) all year. Do not miss Alligator Gorge in Mt Remarkable National Park, where the old walls of quartzite resemble alligator skin. From here, short trails take you north to a fossilized lake shore, and south to the red canyon covered with moss. Back on the track, you will climb Mount Brown, then along the steep Dutchman's Stern and Pichi Richi Pass to before reaching the historic town of Quorn. You can then decide to provide relief for your tired legs by train Pichi Richi of which goes to Port Augusta. Otherwise, continue walking along Warren Gorge and go through the ruins of the farm Kanyaka Homestead. Discover Aboriginal art caves Yourambulla and climb Mount Arden for views that give men the feeling of being insignificant. Go through the throat Buckaringa before reaching the center of Hawker in the outback. From there, the trail leads you to the majestic Wilpena Pound, a formation created by millions of years of erosion. Walk to the edge, climb the peaks of St Marys and Mt Ohlssen Bagge and go see the abandoned farm in the heart of the rugged crater. Visit the rock Arkaroo nearby, including rock art that covers his flanks tells the story of Creation to the Adnyamathanha Aboriginal. Then follow the trail beyond the mountain ranges of ABC and Heysen, where pine forests plots break the arid landscape. Take a detour to see Brachina Gorge for fossils in ancient sea beds, or stay on the track to see the ruins of an old ranch Aroona Valley. This is the last stop in Flinders Ranges National Park before the track winds its way through the wilderness to the sunburned tourist village of Angorichina. It is good to rest before tackling a difficult march to the top of Parachilna Gorge.
