This year will be a rare opportunity to see the major watercourses and floodplains of the Lake Eyre Basin following the phenomenal floods. By August we will see the lake with a considerable amount of water and adding to the spectacle will be the greening of the Channel Country as it springs to flourishing life.

Flying in your private chartered Cessna Caravan aircraft with a maximum of  just 7 guests, start your adventure from Shellharbour (Wollongong). Each day you’ll be enthralled with a bird’s eye perspective of the true Outback. We fly  via the quintessential outback towns of Yowah and Thargomindah and land at the tiny township of Innamincka. We plan to land at the infamous site of the   Burke and Will’s Dig Tree beside Cooper Creek.

The spectacle of the Queensland Channel Country is best appreciated from your window seat – each guest has their own window – as we fly to Birdsville for overnight. Experience the sunset from Big Red – one of the giant red dunes in the Simpson Desert. Our aerial tour then  takes us south-west from Birdsville following the Diamantina River and the Warburton to Lake Eyre.

The ancient, rugged and majestic Flinders Ranges feature a 2 night stay and a whole day of special touring from our comfortable base at Arkaroola.

Our final day is flying over Lake Frome, Broken Hill, Menindee Lakes to World Heritage Listed Lake Mungo where we have an exclusive tour and lunch before re-boarding our plane for the flight to Wollongong.
