Locum tenens interested in seeing some of the natural flora and fauna of South Australia won't want to miss the Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary, an animal reserve in the northern Flinders Ranges.
Situated approximately 435 miles north of Adelaide, the sanctuary was first established in 1968 by a geologist who purchased tracts of pastoral land that had previously been used to feed donkeys and camels. The park is now home to a wide array of animals endemic to Australia, making it a top destination for travelers interested in seeing wild creatures in their native habitats.
Some of the species found in the Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary include the yellow-footed rock wallaby, the short-tailed grasswren, the pied honeyeater, the chirruping wedgebill and the cinnamon quail-thrush.
Many tourists enjoy exploring the park by going for a drive along one of its many tracks, which are designed for either two- or four-wheel-drive vehicles. The Ridge Top Tour is one of the most popular routes, as it features three lookouts offering panoramic views of Lake Frome and the Beverley Uranium Mine.
