2-Day Lake Eyre by Air - Guided Air Safari
Lake Eyre -Kati Thanda usually appears as a very vast, salt-encrusted basin however with the predicted heavy rainfalls expected during the wet season in northern Australia, we may once again be lucky enough to see plenty of water in the western river systems that flow into Lake Eyre.
Graham will be on board all our Lake Eyre flights providing clear and interesting commentary. Graham’s knowledge and practical experiences are the ‘point of difference’ when you see Lake Eyre with Travel West. Flying in an ATR72 twin engine, high-winged plane, this plane is toilet equipped with two seats either side of a central aisle. Get on board with Graham, who has been to Lake Eyre over 70 times.
