“The Flinders Ranges needs keepers – people of the present generation who are dedicated to the preservation of this magnificent region.  If the keepers of this generation fail, the next generation will be the losers, and the weepers.
The Flinders Ranges are now one of Australia’s major tourist areas, and history has shown that people are the great spoilers of nature, usually through ignorance of the damage that can be caused to a region by carelessness.
The purpose of this book is to introduce people to many of the intriguing fields of study that lie beneath the superficial splendour of the ranges, in the hope that more people will recognise and appreciate the unique character of the Flinders, and strive to ensure that the next generation will not weep over our failure to protect and preserve a wonderland that has already suffered severely from man’s invasion.”
