Blinman sits at the northern edge of the Flinders Ranges National Park and is a good base for exploring this rugged region of Australia.
Discover Aboriginal carvings, old homestead ruins, walking trails and rock pools. The rusting ruins of the Blinman mine now form an historic reserve, complete with interpretive information for self-guided tours. The sparse, hilly countryside makes for great 4WD journeys and bushwalks. South on the Wilpena Road is the 'Great Wall of China' - lines of rocks topped with ironstone which resemble the Chinese landmark.
