The Heysen and Mawson Trails wend their way through Wonoka Station, also offering Mayo hut for camping. If you desire a hot shower and alternative accommodation, we have that option.
The Heysen Trail
The Heysen Trail meets Arkaba Creek, then follows it for approximately 4 km before veering off to ascend the Red Range.
There is an infinity of landscape here, caused by the purity of the atmosphere. It has been said that there is a lack of colour. It is not so obvious as the greenness of England, but it is infinitely more varied and more delicate in tone. The landscape is a pinky mauve, a lilac, and the reflection of the sun of the particles of the atmosphere is a warm amber. So I should say our colour scheme is amber and lilac.
Hans Heysen
With both the Heysen and Mawson Trails passing through Wonoka Station, there is no wonder that this is the stuff landscape artists and photographers yearn for. Only 7km north of Hawker, Wonoka Station is an easily-accessible place to come and enjoy the stunning Flinders Ranges.
