The incredible Flinders Ranges National Park in South Australia has recently been added to the Tentative UNESCO World Heritage List, and is hoping to achieve full World Heritage status in 2024. It's a magnificent landscape, and is extremely important to the story of evolution, with one of the world's richest deposits of pre-Cambrian life forms. The fossils found in the Flinders Ranges National Park area have given name to a new epoch, 650 million years ago: the Ediacaran. Let's have a closer look!
