Tour Itinerary: Lake Eyre Safari

B,L,D: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.

Day 1: Melbourne - Wentworth - William Creek (L,D)

7.15am check in at the Australian Air Safaris Departure Lounge, conveniently located at Moorabbin Airport with ample, unrestricted car parking right next to our hangar. An early 8.00am departure to make the most of the day.

Fly from Melbourne to Wentworth for a short refuelling stop before flying on to William Creek.

On route, view the mystical ‘Maree Man’, only discovered in 1998, the 3.5km long artwork depicts a hunter with a stick or boomerang in hand.

William Creek is famous for its pub (one of the most remote in Australia) and for being the closest town to Lake Eyre North. Enjoy lunch at the Hotel and check into your ensuite accommodation for the night before a magical experience to the Anna Creek Painted Hills in the afternoon.

Board a Wrightsair aircraft with a local expert for the short flight to the Painted Hills which are only accessible by air and have only recently opened for ground touring.

Covering an area of 10 by 30 kilometres, the multi-coloured, pristine sandstone hills of varying shapes and sizes emerge suddenly out of the flat desert landscape.

Return to William Creek for a refreshing ale at the hospitable William Creek Hotel and quality outback pub grub for dinner.

Meals included: Lunch & Dinner

Day 2: William Creek - Lake Eyre - Muloorina Station - Flinders Ranges - Melbourne (B,L)

Following breakfast, the highlight of the tour – the breathtaking scenic flight over Lake Eyre of approximately one hour. Fly over Belt Bay, the deepest part of the Lake, Madigan Gulf, the sand islands and Warburton Inlet.

Land at the fascinating Muloorina, Station established in 1882, for morning tea with the owners whose family have operated the station since 1938. The station has a deep relationship with the Lake Eyre being only 35km from its edge. Donald Campbell and his Bluebird were based at the Station for his aborted 1963 and successful 1964 breaking of the world land speed record. Australian Air Safaris has exclusive fly in access to Muloorina Station.

Fly onto the spectacular Flinders Ranges with a circle around Wilpena Pound. Then enjoy a delicious lunch at Rawnsley Park Station in their authentic Woolshed restaurant overlooking the southern side of Wilpena Pound.

The final leg of the journey will have you arriving back in Moorabbin Airport at approximately 6.30pm. This concludes an incredible 2 day expedition to the great Australian outback to see the incredible Lake Eyre.

Meals Included: Breakfast & Lunch.
