Lake Eyre tours for 2012
Lake Eyre tours now finished for 2011 so here comes Lake Eyre 2012. It is starting to get too hot. The Lake is still well covered from recent influx from the Cooper Creek and so assuming the wet season is significant again Lake Eyre 2012 will be another stunning event. Keep an eye on the news page or the “Lake Eyre “page of the website as the tour dates will be posted soon. We will probably stick to the same 3 day itinerary as 2011. We have put some 2 day trips this time in the faster KingAir aircraft. Our clients were extremely satisfied this year…have a look at some...

Lake Eyre Stunning in May Just an update re our Lake Eyre trips, the beauty of which you have shared with us over the past couple of years.

This year has also seen a return of bird life, with a rookery of approx. 500 pelicans north west of Innamincka.

Read MoreLake Eyre March 2011 Update
We have just returned from the first trip up to see Lake Eyre and the floods throughout the Lake Eyre Basin. Thought that we would send an update as you had expressed interest in these tours.

Goyder Lagoon...
Read MoreUpdate on the year’s activities and give you some idea on what is in store for 2011!
2010 Activities in Review We had a successful year again due to the “big wet” in the centre. Many of you experienced a “trip of a lifetime” flying on the three day trip over the wet centre and Lake Eyre. We did 37 trips and all were successful albeit some last minute changes due to abnormal weather. Only 2 tours were cancelled due to extreme weather and we hope those that missed out might try again next year. While most of the flying was to the Lake Eyre region, we also toured to Mallacoota, Mungo National Park, Lake Gairdner, Gawler Ranges, Flinders Island, northern...
