QUORN

Quorn is a real outback railway town just 40 km from Port Augusta in the heart of the Flinders Ranges, a popular backdrop for many films featuring in famous productions such as Gallipoli, The Shiralee, The Tracker, The Water Diviner, Stan series The Tourist and the Wolf Creek mini-series.

Quorn has lots to do to keep you entertained while you are there.  Beautiful new park walks around town and through the bush garden.  Fabulous playground and skate park, with good coffee right beside the skate park.

For more information on what to do and see while you're in Quorn, please see the Flinders Ranges Council Tourism page.
