The dust lifts in long, fine ribbons as the 4WD threads a narrow track across the Willochra Plains. Morning sun sharpens the red earth and scatters long shadows from the stunted gum trees; kangaroos watch from a respectful distance, and a wedge‑tailed eagle carves a lazy arc above. This is the first impression on a five‑day eco tour that moves from Adelaide’s pavement to the raw geometry of the Flinders Ranges: ridgelines knifing into the sky, granite tors, and the amphitheatre of Wilpena Pound.
