A 61,000 ha property in the northern Flinders Ranges and a privately owned wildlife sanctuary.
It was acquired in the 1960s by Reg and Griselda Sprigg with the intention of returning the property to its natural state resulting in the Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary which now operates tours, scenic flights, and aboriginal bush-tucker treks.
There are 160 species of birds and fauna including the Yellow-footed Rock-wallaby. Of a night the brilliant clear dskies are ideal for astronomers and of a day the wonderful scenery of the northern Flinders Ranges has endless attractions to see and visit. the property is now managed by the children Doug and Margie who oversee and coordinate the activities.
Motel and caravan park at Arkaroola Village. Wonderful scenery in the Gammon Ranges National Park.
