The desert “green”. We had read that the desert has had substantial rainfall , but still wasn’t expecting this much greenery ! Start at the Wilpena Pound visitor centre to plan your trip. Multiple hiking and sightseeing options , a special place in Australia; fingers crossed the UNESCO World Heritage recognition comes through in 2027 !
