We are The Flinders Ranges Council, four hours north of Adelaide economically, socially and geographically linked to the Upper Spencer Gulf via Port Augusta only 40 kms away. We are 1,600 people spread over 1,400 square kilometres. We are primary producers, light industrial suppliers, a services hub and we are increasingly known as a tourist destination. We are on the edge of the Mid North and at the start of the Outback and Far North. In recognising the history of our region, we respect the heritage and diversity of our past learned from our traditional landowners.
