Where: The largest mountain ranges in South Australia, which start about 200 kilometres (4.5 hour drive) from Adelaide.
After the heavy winter rains in South Australia, Flinders Ranges National Park explodes with a dazzling display of wildflowers in every colour imaginable. Whether it's along the highway from Adelaide, off unsealed roads, or around Mount Remarkable or Wilpenia Pound, wildflowers are absolutely everywhere. Expect riots of colour, getting off the beaten track, and allowing South Australia to whisk you away to an alternative, floral dimension where free-wheeling exploration is key.
What to see: Sturt's desert pea, everlasting daisy, mint bush, blue flax lily, native violet, rock daisy
When to go: August to October
