Photo of the Week - We Want to See the Flinders Ranges Through Your Eyes
This isn’t a competition — we simply want to celebrate our region through the eyes of the people who know it best: our residents. Share your photos of Quorn, Hawker, Cradock, and the surrounding areas, capturing the moments, places, and stories that make our communities special. You don’t need a fancy camera — your phone or any camera will do! When you submit your photo, please make sure it is in JPEG format and include the category either in the file name or in your email.
The images may be used in Council publications, featured in public art displays, and shared on our Council Facebook page and website. All photos will be acknowledged with the name of the photographer.
Send your photos to council@frc.sa.gov.au — we can’t wait to see the Flinders Ranges from your perspective!
Photo of the week will be announced on Fridays on The Flinders Ranges Council Facebook page and on the Website
