About this place
What to expect
At 964 metres altitude, Mount Brown is one of the highest peaks in the South Flinders Ranges. This former forest reserve is comprised of undulating country with a variety of cover grading to rugged ridges with open woodland and scrub. The lookout at Mt Brown commemorates Robert Brown, who was the naturalist aboard Matthew Flinders' Investigator, the first ship to circumnavigate Australia. Along the 15km loop walking trail there is evidence of a 1km deep canyon formed 600 million years ago.
