Quorn

Sought out by Hollywood and home-grown movie producers as a set for their blockbusters, Quorn has become a great place for many coming from Adelaide on their way to explore the Flinders Ranges. Gallipoli, The Water Diviner and Wolf Creek have all rolled their cameras in these quiet streets.

Quorn has endearing streets lined with heritage-listed buildings and is the terminus of the one of a kind Pichi Richi heritage railway. Have a delicious meal at one of the four hotels on Railway Terrace then board the Afghan Express to be taken back in time to the 1920s. The train is made up of carriages from that era and is pulled by a steam locomotive on its way to Port Augusta.

There are several abandoned ghost towns and places worthy of visiting within a short drive of Quorn. Kanyaka Station ruins was one of the country's largest cattle stations and, in its heyday, had 70 families living and working there. Warren Gorge offers views of Wilpena Pound, has rare rock formations and a 5 kilometre hiking circuit through the stunning Australian countryside.
