One of the Flinders Ranges tourist attractions is Andamooka.
In 1930, opals were discovered in that area and an opal of 34,
215 carats was found there in 1967. Another attraction is the
Ettamoggah Pub in Andamooka. This pub is well known throughout
South Australia because it is part of Ken Maynard's cartoon
creation in the Australasian Post. It is also a popular place
for miners, outback workers and tourists. Wilpena Pound is the
most popular tourist attraction in the |
Flinders Ranges. Another attraction is the Aroona Ruins which
are a reminder of the Australian pioneers who struggled for
survival in this region last century. The Paralana Hot Water
Springs, situated twenty-seven kilometres from Arkaroola, begin
deep within the surface of the ground. They are famous because
they are the last sign of active volcanoes left in the whole
of Australia. The Sliding Rock copper mine is also an attraction
in the Flinders Ranges. |
