Flinders Ranges
The Flinders Ranges, one of the few elevated landmasses in South
Australia, is the gateway to the State's outback, offering rugged
and spectacular scenery best seen at daybreak or sunset when the
colours come alive. At the southern end of the ranges, about 25
miles (40km) from Port Agusta, is the town of Quorn which is the
jumping off point for four-wheel-drive and adventure tours of the
region. A vintage train runs through the nearby Pichi Richi Pass,
and visitors can try rock-climbing at Warren Gorge. Further north
is the small township of Hawker, which is the main point for access
to the main attraction of the Flinders, Wilpena Pound. Wilpena is
one of Australia's most significant Aboriginal heritage areas,
enclosed in the Flinders Ranges National Park. Rock engravings can
be viewed at Sacred Canyon and there are many bushwalks to be
followed.

Money
The Australian Dollar (AUD) is divided into 100 cents. Banks and
bureaux de change exchange most foreign currencies. Travellers
cheques are also welcome everywhere, but banks take a small
commission and it is better to take cheques in major currencies
(e.g. US dollars or Euros) to avoid additional charges. Credit
cards are widely accepted and ATMs are freely available throughout
the country. Banking hours are generally 9.30am to 4pm Monday to
Thursday, and 9.30am to 5pm on Friday, but some banks offer
extended hours and some are open on Saturday mornings.
