 2010 latest (25th
July)...
The flood waters north
of the lake are receding but still an amazing site as are the flood waters to the west of Innamincka on
the Cooper Creek and the Coongie Lakes. ..... The Cooper Creek crossed the
Birdsville Track on the 1st June on its way to the Lake. Birdsville floodwaters have receded although there is
still plenty of water around. The water is still around the Goyder Lagoon. This
is stunning as it was last year.... a real highlight.
Water is still coming down the Cooper. The Cooper has
reached Lake Eyre and is about 2 kms into the Lake.
Hopefully that might boost the
level of Lake Eyre once again. Pelicans are starting to appear on the
Warburton river.
The 3 day charter calculates to around $2800 pp
for a group of 6 - 7 ...includes all accommodation, meals, tours and gst.
Drinks and single supplements are extra
$150 pp.
The 3 day trips include Innamincka for lunch, Birdsville first night and Arkaroola as the extra night (with the famous 4WD Ridge Top tour).
The 2 day tour would be the same as the 3 day without Arkaroola. Each trip is planned to stop at Muloorina Station for lunch
(where possible)and this may result in a ground tour
to the Lake.
Muloorina is not always available and hence on those trips we
will stop at William Creek for lunch (unfortunately ground tours to the Lake at
William Creek are very unlikley). When Arkaroola Ridge Top tour is unavailable
the trip will overnight at Andamooka instead of Arkaroola. Here we will do a
ground tour out to the edge of lake Torrens and also local sights around the
quaint opal mining town...very interesting.
3 day tour departure dates:.....normal
minimum of 5 passengers in the group is required
otherwise tour is cancelled ...
changes from Arkaroola to Andamooka are by request
and not definite
Extra trips will be arranged based on demand and accommodation/aircraft
availability...please let us know your interest by send a
holiday enquiry form.

NB....We are still trying to get
accommodation and arrange a few more Lake Eyre tours in August and September,
so let us know if you are interested
Note: the number of passengers on each tour is variable as it
will depend on the actual weights
Also for those that did the above trip last year there is a possibility to join up with Rex Ellis and do a boat trip down the Cooper to Lake Eyre and back. This would be an 8 day trip ex Melbourne. Let us know if interested.
Also, in September the wildflowers should be fantastic. If
anyone is interested in a trip to see them then we suggest Andamooka and lake Gaidner in the Gawler Ranges......SPECTACULAR
Please let me know whether you are interested in any of the above standard 3 day trips or would like a modified version as suggested. The
tour price includes all meals accommodation,
ground tours and gst. Drinks and/or single supplements would be extra. Obviously we can tailor the tour to suit
your group if necessary.
