Discover the Flinders Ranges is a free app designed by Friends of Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park. The app contains tours and around 500 photos of places of interest, as well as some plants and birds.
While the ‘Flora of the Central Flinders Ranges’ tour is not comprehensive, it is novel in that it is arranged by colour of flower. A handy little offline app to have in the field.
