Close to Arkaba Hill Lookout along the Flinders Ranges Way – and offering better views – is the Elder Range Lookout. As the name suggests, it offers a good view of the Elder Range (and Arkaba Hills) to the west. (Early morning would give you the best views of the Elder Range.)
Mount Aleck, the highest peak of the Elder Range, is clearly visible near the southern end of the range.
There’s also a great view of the Wilpena Pound Range (Akurra Ngami) to the north.
Some of the highest peaks of the Wilpena Pound Range – Pompey Pillar (1,168m), Beatrice Hill (1,146m), Harold Hill (1,071m) and Greig Peak (1,042m) are clearly visible.
To the east is the Chace Range.
Getting to Elder Range Lookout
Elder Range Lookout is about 24km (15min drive) north of Hawker and 31km south of Wilpena Pound Resort. The signposted lookout is right next to the highway (Flinders Ranges Way) and accessible by all vehicles.
