Wilpena Pound Resort Water Tank
Water Source
Located at the main entrance to Wilpena Pound Resort, this large concrete water tank provides reliable freshwater for overlanders heading into or out of the northern Flinders Ranges. The tank is gravity-fed from a bore and maintains consistent pressure year-round. Access is straightforward via the sealed Wilpena Road, making it suitable for any vehicle.
The tank sits about 200 meters from the resort’s main buildings, with ample space for larger rigs to maneuver. Water quality is excellent — sourced from the same aquifer that supplies the resort. Best accessed during daylight hours to avoid disturbing resort guests.
