There are several low ranges in South Australia. The Flinders Ranges is South Australia's largest mountain range, and starts about 200 km north west of Adelaide.

Lake Eyre covers 8430 km sq, is 144 km long and 77 km wide. At its lowest point, it is 15.2 m below sea-level and drains over a sixth of the continent. Other salt lake sin South Australia include Lakes Torrens, Gairdner, Cadibarrawirracanna, Frome, and numerous smaller lakes.

How much gold can you bring into Australia?
Yes you can, but you need to declare it to customs, and there may be import duty or tax to pay.
For information on how to contact customs, see the related link below.
Having spoken to me they told me that bullion bars of gold of 99.9%, and silver in any form at 99.9% were exempt from tax or custom if personal property. You may carry them in, or ship them - I'm guessing you will need to verify the fineness.
For gold or silver of lower than investment grade purity (less than 99.9%) a GST applies of 10%.
