Beltana, located in the Flinders Ranges of South Australia, offers a unique blend of natural and historical attractions. One of the main highlights is the Beltana Historic Town, a State Heritage listed town with a rich history dating back to the 1850s and 60s. The town features well-preserved stone buildings, interpretative signs, and a picturesque setting on the banks of the Warioota Creek. Visitors can explore the town, read the interpretive signage, and enjoy a picnic in the community park with free BBQ facilities. The town is also home to the Royal Flying Doctor Service, which offers interpretative signage about its historical importance.
In terms of natural attractions, Warraweena Conservation Park and Camel Treks Australia are popular options for outdoor enthusiasts. The conservation park offers opportunities for hiking, biking, and off-roading amidst its desert, river, and mountainous landscapes.
