2-Day Lake Eyre, Channel Country & Wilpena Pound by Air from Brisbane

2025 dates to be released if there is plenty of Summer rain and water in the western river systems/catchments are heading for Lake Eyre - sign up for our Newsletter to hear when dates released. If You're Going to see Lake Eyre - Go with Graham!

Lake Eyre, officially known as Kati Thanda–Lake Eyre, contains the lowest natural point in Australia, at approximately 15 m (49 ft) below sea level (AHD), and, on the rare occasions that it fills, it is the largest lake in Australia, covering 9,500 km.

Lake Eyre-Kati Thanda usually appears as a very vast, salt-encrusted basin however with the predicted heavy rainfalls expected during the wet season in northern Australia, we may once again be lucky enough to see plenty of water in the western river systems that flow into Lake Eyre.

Graham will be on board all our Lake Eyre flights providing clear and interesting commentary. Graham’s knowledge and practical experiences are the ‘point of difference’ when you see Lake Eyre with Travel West.

Graham's passion for the outback and the great inland river systems has grown over the past 25 years whilst showcasing outback towns, regions and properties to guests on Travel West's 4WD Motel Accommodated Tag Along Tours. Hear some history, geography and stories of his roadtrain driving days in the Kimberley and Northern Territory.

Flying in an ATR72 twin engine, high-winged plane, this plane is toilet equipped with two seats either side of a central aisle. Get on board with Graham, who has been to Lake Eyre over 120 times.

Graham says “it’s not all about the water in Lake Eyre, it’s the journey the water takes to get there”! When it rains again, join Graham from Brisbane for a trip of a lifetime that includes Birdsville and overnight at Port Augusta.

A couple of recent TripAdvisor reviews on our flight over Lake Eyre, the Channel Country & Wilpena Pound:

85th Birthday Special Treat
Jun. 2023
This was the treat I chose to celebrate my 85th Birthday, and WHAT A TREAT!
It was enjoyable and memorable from start to finish. The orginisation was smooth and seamless. The aircraft was smooth and comfortable and the meals and accom were "top shelf" I've lived and worked for years in far Western Qld,but have never met a man with greater knowledge and experience in the places and things that matter. Graham's continuous commentary and ready answer to questions at all times made the weekend a valuable time of enjoyment and education.

Lake Eyre
Jun. 2023
We had a fabulous time flying over Lake Eyre and the surrounding countryside. Graham's knowledge is extensive and very interesting while Deb had everything perfectly organised to create a memorable trip. Lake Eyre was great to see but the scenery of the Channel country and Wilpena Pound was also outstanding, containing a wide palette of colours. Jane B
