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.

Join us for an experience of a lifetime.

Prepare to witness one of Australia’s most spectacular natural phenomena: the transformation of arid plains into a vibrant inland sea and lush green desert. Make 2026 the year you embark on an unforgettable aerial journey with Lake Eyre Tours, enjoy a breathtaking bird's-eye view of this incredible landscape. Our flights and outback tours from Adelaide promise a truly unique and beautiful experience of a lifetime.

This extraordinary event is anticipated due to exceptional recent rainfall across the Outback, particularly in the Western Queensland regions, including the vital Lake Eyre Basin and Catchment area. These significant rains mean Lake Eyre is set to receive an immense influx of water, surging from the North via the Diamantina and Georgina Rivers. This flow will first replenish Goyders Lagoon before continuing its journey through the Warburton River and finally into Lake Eyre. Adding to this spectacle, the Cooper Creek is also expected to be in flood, contributing its waters to the lake, promising an even more magnificent display.

Join us to experience this rare and awe-inspiring natural wonder firsthand.
