Experience one of Australia’s most spectacular nature shows as the typically arid plains are transformed to an inland sea and green desert. Make 2024 the year you take to the air with Lake Eyre Tours to get a birds eye view of this incredible landscape.
Following recent significant rains in Northern Queensland, from Ex Cyclone Kirrily, good rains have fallen in the Lake Eyre Basin and catchment area.
This influx of water will descend south to the Georgina River, then Goyder Lagoon, flow into Warburton River and enter Lake Eyre.
As the rain fell towards the end of the Monsoon Season, we anticipate the water will take around three months to reach Lake Eyre, making June, July, August and September ideal months for a trip.
Join Tom Noonan from Lake Eyre Tours to witness the breathtaking scenery of Lake Eyre in flood, as thousands of waterbirds from all over Australia flock to the outback to roost and raise their chicks.
Lake Eyre Tours offers three and four day small group (maximum 8 people) tours, encompassing iconic locations including Coober Pedy, Innaminka, Birdsville and the Flinders Ranges. Alternatively, Tom can tailor a journey to suit your needs.
“We went to see Lake Eyre in flood, and we saw so much more. An air crossing of the Warburton River shows how fast the river is moving towards Lake Eyre. The Channel Country is best seen by air. Each meal was in a different iconic location. Make sure your camera battery is fully charged and you have plenty of memory. It wasn’t only the sights. The history, people and stories make this a unique trip. We been to many amazing places across the world and this trip compares most favourably.”
