FLIGHTS OVER THE ANNA CREEK PAINTED HILLS
The Anna Creek Painted Hills is a spectacular and recently discovered section of the pristine Breakaways country in the far north of South Australia. The term Breakaway is applied to arid, dissected plateaus where severe erosion reveals mesa or pedestal rocks and the richly coloured underlying strata. The area is often referred to as a ”fragile lunar landscape”, and offers an amazing sight by air. Air access tours to the Anna Creek Painted Hills are available through Trevor Wright of Wrightsair, from William Creek, Coober Pedy and Arkaroola. Due to its fragility and natural beauty, the management of Anna Creek Station do not allow land access to the Hills.
