Mayo Hut

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.

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.
