Gulf and Ranges Trail

The Northern coastline is a diverse area containing some of the oldest landscapes on earth, and offers remarkable views of the Spencer Gulf, Flinders Ranges and Cultana Range.
This hiking and cycling trail is 4km long including interpretive signage which explains the geology, geography, biology, zoology and human interaction.
The Northern Spencer Landscape, as you see it today, was formed 90 to 60 million years ago. It separated from Antarctica 45 million years ago with all flora & fauna on it and moved north along with the rest of Australia like a huge Noah’s Ark. The gulf changed its appearance intermittently from a dry valley to a sea environment throughout millennia.
