Arkaroola Airstrip in SA is owned by the Arkaroola Wildlife Sanctuary, and is used primarily by visitors to the Sanctuary. The airstrip is meticulously maintained in great condition.
Located 600km north of Adelaide in the ruggedly spectacular northern Flinders Ranges, this 610sq km multi award-winning Wilderness Sanctuary was founded by the Sprigg family in 1968. It continues to operate to this day with a strong emphasis on science, education and conservation. This enable us, as custodians, to preserve this priceless and unique wilderness and its inhabitants into the future.
With a Geological History reaching back almost 2 billion years, this ancient landscape also has an extraordinary human history. Frequented and featuring in creation stories by Indigenous Peoples for tens of thousands of years the area was later brought to the attention of the modern world by the late Professor Sir Douglas Mawson.
