Willow Springs is a place of spiritual significance, so a growing number of our visitors believe. One regular visitor has used stones to lay down a Labyrinth and a Medicine Wheel. Labyrinths are simple maze-type structures which people use to help them meditate. For further details and photographs go to the Spirituality page.

The park offers some of the most spectacular scenery in Australia and is only minutes away from our station. One could spend days exploring the gorges, walking the many trails and climbing St Mary's Peak, the highest point in the Flinders Ranges.
