2 day air tours
2 days:...........Melbourne to Lake Eyre and Birdsville
 The 2 day tour would depart
Moorabbin airport around 7:30 am and land at William Creek for lunch in the hotel. Then a 1.5
hr drive each way out to the shores of the Lake in the afternoon…hopefully see
the water and view the magnificent salt pan from the sandy shoreline. It
may be difficult to see it from the shoreline but you never never know as it
moves around with the wind. We would overnight at
William
Creek in twin share rooms , then in the
morning fly up the Lake following the Warburton Channel which is where the water
flows through from the Diamantina. Once near
the top we would turn south and fly down the eastern side past the
Cooper Creek ( which is unlikely to make it to the Lake) and over Donald Campbells speed trial area until we
land at Mulloorina Station for lunch.....maybe if time permits a swim in
their creek/thermal spring. In the afternoon fly to Moorabbin over the Flinders
ranges arriving home around 6pm. This trip should give you fantastic views over
the whole of the Lake. click
