It is hard to visualise just how much land is covered by the floodwaters on Lake Eyre and the Coongie Lakes at the moment.<\/p>\n

it is easy to see some amazing contrasts. So much green – shades of green that in some places defy belief.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then there’s the normal colours of the desert interspersed with streams like the Cooper Creek that have burst their banks in countless places.<\/p>\n

I am getting emails from people wanting to travel to the area in the months to come.<\/p>\n

The main question being – will there be lots to see by the time we get there. In short, the answer is that the rest of this year will will remain a wonderland out there.<\/p>\n

The Lakes will erupt with fish and bird life as well as plenty of healthy vegetation. The Coongie Lakes will probably hold water for a time next year.<\/p>\n

Clearly William Creek will be the epicenter of all this activity and it would pay to contact the William Creek Hotel ( outbackevents@bigpond.com) about accommodation and camping facilities etc.<\/p>\n

Similarly you would be best advised to book with Wright Air<\/a> for flights.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\/><\/p>\n

Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary<\/a> and the Prairie Hotel (Parachilna)<\/a> will also provide fixed-wings flights over the waters.<\/p>\n

Similarly flights will go from further south at Rawnsley Park Station<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Access to the area will also be made in time from Birdsville in Queensland and Innamincka on the Queensland, South Australian border once roads in those areas have dried out.<\/p>\n

There’s an expression …”Don’t give up your day job….” As a travel agent the Sentimental Bloke will probably make a better photographer than a travel agent but there’s plenty of people who can help you.<\/p>\n

Just use the links and the telephone for up-to-date information.<\/p>\n

Travelling in this part of the world requires a bit (maybe a lot) of preparation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
