LAKE EYRE UPDATE OCTOBER 3
Lake Eyre region has recently witnessed massive floodwaters from two Queensland cyclones earlier this year. These waters travelled down the Cooper Creek, Georgina, Diamantina and Warburton Rivers to fill Lake Eyre and nearby lakes to a level not seen for many years.
Pink algal blooms typically appear at this time of year and it is always a stunning spectacle no matter the water level, with cloud reflections, and vast water and salt surfaces merging with the pink of the algal blooms. However the recent intense heat and strong winds in the region are taking its toll on water levels and bird numbers. As at late September the Lake has approximately 30% water coverage. You can see a recent satellite image here – https://worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov/?v=132.52769971831015,-30.223839999999992,145.79873971831012,-23.743839999999995&l=MODIS_Aqua_CorrectedReflectance_Bands721
Our tours aim to show you the best this unique region has to offer, including the amazing Mound Springs, iconic landmarks and Old Ghan and pioneer history. Lately our travellers have been impressed with their Lake Eyre flight also incorporating the Painted Hills, a nearby desert region with awesome multi coloured ochre hills. This opportunity will be offered to your group on the tour and availability depends on a consensus to spend approximately half the flight time on Lake Eyre, and half on the Painted Hills.
This information has been provided as an update on the changing conditions, as we want you to aware that water and bird levels have not remained at the peak of earlier this year.
We look forward to seeing you on your journey soon. Please contact us if you have any questions
