Flinders Ranges and Outback Food and Wine
Unique cuisine
Eating exotic food in the “middle of nowhere” might sound like an impossible dream; it isn’t in the Flinders Ranges and South Australian outback.
If you’ve never eaten an emu egg omelette or camel sirloin with sweet potato wedges, native thyme and garlic chive butter or warm Quandong pie with fresh cream, then this is where you need to be.
Meal times have never been as exciting
When you pull up at the Prairie Hotel in Parachilna, you’ll find a top-notch menu. It’s thanks to the creative chefs who combine bush food with European and Asian style cuisine. Try the “Flinders Feral Food”. Kangaroo, emu and bush tomatoes are just some of the ingredients.
Visit cellar doors
In the Southern Flinders Ranges, about three hours’ drive north of Adelaide, there’s something special growing by the side of the road.
A small number of wineries are reaping the rewards from the rich soil. Their red and white wines are winning medals, so take a turn off the main road for a taste of something new.
Iconic pub food
The pub is the heart and soul of most country towns. It’s certainly the case in the Flinders Ranges and outback of South Australia. The pub is often one of the oldest buildings in town and a fantastic place to spend some time.
Pull up a stool at the worn wooden bar or relax under the shady verandah for a classic view of Aussie country life.
There are other great places to eat but you can get a true taste of Aussie culture by watching the locals as they pop in for a drink and a story.
