Old Wilpena Station lies within the Flinders Ranges National Park only a few kilometres from the Wilpena Pound Resort.

Today the Old Wilpena Station Historic Precinct is one of South Australia's most significant pastoral settlement sites due to its fine condition, wealth of heritage and spectacular setting. Preserved at Old Wilpena Station is the most complete group of early station buildings surviving in South Australia in an authentic pastoral landscape.

The Heritage listed site is a valuable archive of pastoral history in the Flinders Ranges and is culturally significant for both indigenous and non-indigenous Australians. The site holds a continued cultural significance for the Adnyamathanha people today

Old Wilpena Station offers self-guided and guided tours. The 'Living With Land' Interpretive Trail is an easy walk and takes around two hours to complete.
