Outback Tours
Lake Eyre
The Lake Eyre basin covers one sixth of Australia, being a large part of South Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland and a smaller portion of New South Wales.
Due to the substantial rainfalls across the Georgina, Diamantina and Cooper catchments early this year there is considerable water in the systems as well as Lake Eyre itself. Presently, when flying from Goyders Lagoon to the northern edge of the Lake Eyre, water can be seen running into Lake Eyre from the Warburton River, Coopers Creek and Kalaweerina Creek with about 75 % coverage of the Lake.
To read more on the March 2011 rainfall and its flow on effects on the filling of the lake visit this link. Since 1950 there have been less than twenty recorded flows into the Lake.
We are running One Day and Two Day tours ex Longreach over Lake Eyre and the Channel Country. We will continue with these tours depending on the season and conditions as well as the amount of water in Lake Eyre in the coming months.
Prices start from $1500 per person with tours ranging from 8-10 hours flying duration. Please contact us for more details on the One Day and Two Day tours that are available. You may also like to discuss adapting these tours to suit your individual group.

Channel Country
The channel country is some of the best cattle fattening country in Australia. Following significant rainfall in 2010, flooding in some areas of the channel country is in ideal viewing condition. Substantial rainfall across the Barcoo, Thompson and Landsborough Rivers has seen major flooding in the lower Cooper.
