CLIENT: Upalinna Station, Flinders Ranges
Upalinna Station in the Flinders Ranges. Ever stayed on a station? Check it out…
Upalinna means 'Little Water' in the Adnyamathana language.
Upalinna is a family-owned and operated working sheep station, located on the Eastern side of Ikara Wilpena Pound in the Flinders Ranges, South Australia. Don't do what I did and take The Outback Highway (towards Parachilna) out of Hawker then have to traverse the Moralana Scenic Drive track in a little VW. Makes for slow progress on the dirt and rock. Take the Flinders Ranges Way (towards Wilpena).
There are bush campsites and shearers quarters. Some very fancy shearers quarters that sleep 14 people.
Five bedrooms, classically styled kitchen, dining and lounge room with open fireplace and bread oven that's great for cooking pizza in. Outside is an entertaining area with bbq plus a firepit down by the creek. I loved standing virtually on top of the fire defrosting after photographing in the cold all day.
Check out the pics... a bit nice.
