As the sun sets on the red peaks of the ancient Flinders Ranges, native birds settle for the night in the gum trees lining the Willow Creek. The kangaroos and emus share the water trough with sheep and cattle, oblivious to the guests gathered at Flinders Bush Retreats.

Hidden away in an almost untouched corner of the Flinders Ranges, is boutique farm stay Flinders Bush Retreats. 13,000 acres of ancient beauty owned and operated by the McInnis family, 5^th and 6^th generation graziers who have diversified into tourism to supplement their farm income during times of drought and market lows.
