In the latest edition of The Australian, writer Christine McCabe paints a picture of stepping back in time to the ancient landscape of the Ikara-Flinders Ranges during a stay at Arkaba’s 1850’s Homestead.

“Off-roading provides a brilliant snapshot of the Flinders Ranges but to really understand this landscape you’ll need to strap on some sturdy walking boots – myriad trails are spread across the National Park. At Arkaba Conservancy, south of the park, Wild Bush Luxury has transformed walking into an art form, each day bookended by hearty cooked breakfasts, fine dinners and a cosy bed in the old homestead. Long considered one of Australia’s most beautiful outback spreads, Arkaba unfurls like a theatrical film set framed by the fire red walls of the Elder Range and the imposing ramparts of Wilpena Pound.” – Christine McCabe, The  Australian.
