Flinders Ranges: Take The Open Road

Go your own way to the Flinders Ranges for a weekend of true adventure.

Self-driving guests are invited to join Tasting Australia Airlines – Flinders Ranges passengers for this exclusive experience. It is suggested to travel through Clare, where local bistro Seed is offering delicious breakfast fare to ticket-holders heading north.

On arrival in Hawker you’ll gather for lunch at the Flinders Food Co in Hawker, then continue to the award-winning Rawnsley Park Station. Settle into a spacious holiday unit before dinner – to be served in the Woolshed Restaurant and crafted by acclaimed chefs Mark Best and Duncan Welgemoed.

Best forged his reputation at Marque, the Sydney fine diner that received a raft of awards during its 17-year run. Welgemoed, meanwhile, celebrates African cuisine through his Adelaide drawcard Africola, among the city’s favourite restaurants, and new Norwood offshoot Africola Canteen.

Enjoy breakfast provisions in your unit ahead of a tour of the spectacular Brachina Gorge, where towering eucalypts shade the river stones.

Relax over lunch at the Prairie Hotel. Chef Angus Love will work over an open flame, bringing his flair to a menu guided by local and native ingredients. Return to Hawker after lunch and set off on your drive back to Adelaide.

This overnight journey to the Flinders Ranges includes ground transportation from Hawker onwards, accommodation, tours, food and beverages.
