The first non-indigenous person to see the Flinders Ranges is believed to have been Robert Brown, who was part of Captain Matthew Flinders's crew while he circumnavigated the Australian continent in 1802.

The first European to actually cross the Flinders Ranges is believed to have been explorer Edward Eyre, who did so in 1839.

Who discovered the Flinders Ranges?

The Flinders Ranges were discovered by Edward Eyre in 1839 when he first ventured north of Adelaide in search of farming land.
