Australia's Accessible Outback
Gawler Ranges "Outback to the Sea" showcases an amazing diversity and profusion of wildlife rarely seen elsewhere in Australia The Gawler Ranges region of South Australia is wildly beautiful outback country, boasting contrasting colors of red sands and rocky gorges, blue skies and the glistening white of massive Lake Gairdner. This is also one of the few places where three large species of macropod marsupials can be seen together. Emus are common and 140 species of birds inhabit the area, while spring is brilliant with wildflowers. With wild koalas at Mikkira Station and sea lions and dolphins at Baird Bay, almost all Australian wildlife is covered.
