Images of Lake Eyre mid November 2010, our flight was from nearby William Creek. The cost per person for 1 hour flight (ample time) was $230.00 and seeing the Lake in flood I considered it well worth the money.

had our first trip in the new van last week, 6 days just to try everything out. Enjoyed every minute and can't wait for the house to be sold so that we can go full time.

Just got our first motorhome and I've been reading lots of info on this forum and others. We joined the CMCA and read about the "leave no trace" stuff and how you must not let grey water out except at a dump point.
