William Creek, closest piece of civilisation to Lake Eyre and despite its isolation has been about the busiest airport in South Australia these last few months.<\/p>\n

The main strip can easily be seen running left to right in the picture. The racecourse in is the foreground and the Oodnadatta Track runs right through the town.<\/p>\n

William Creek is entirely surrounded by Anna Creek station, the largest cattle station in the world.<\/p>\n

Anna Creek is roughly 24,000 square kilometres and that’s a bit bigger than Israel and eight times bigger than the largest cattle station in the United States – King Ranch in Texas.<\/p>\n

There a number of locations from which you can fly to the Lake. You’ll find the best of these in the ‘Links’ column on the right hand side of the page. <\/p>\n

However it is worth considering going to William Creek to get a flight because getting there is a bit of an adventure in itself.<\/p>\n

Plan a trip for next Autumn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
