The guests travelling on the Flinders Ranges and Beyond Air Tour and Lake Eyre & Flinders Ranges Air Tour will experience incredible “Flightseeing” throughout, however, as an extra added bonus, they will view vistas only a lucky few ever see – Lake Eyre and it’s surrounding region transform as huge flood waters continue south!

Click below to hear Professor Richard Kingsford discuss the remarkable transformation of the region as it explodes with life due to record breaking floods.  

Professor Kingsford, a river ecologist and conservation biologist from the University of NSW, goes on to discuss the proliferation of flora and fauna resulting from these unprecedented waters as wildflowers bloom and red dirt bursts with green during his recent interview on ABC Radio National.

The incredible downpours that were experienced in Outback Queensland have been so sustained and significant that water has flowed south at rates not seen in over 15 years. This has caused Goyder Lagoon to fill and overflow into Warburton River which is now in major flood.  Per the recent NASA satellite image below from 19 May, the Diamantina, Georgina and Eyre Creek systems are flowing. The Lower Warburton Lakes are overflowing and the Warburton Groove is flowing into Lake Eyre, which in turn has resulted in Belt Bay starting to fill.  Water has arrived at Lake Eyre and with more rain forecasted, this too will make its way south to Lake Eyre and its surrounding region.  Do not miss out on this rare occasion to see the remarkable Australian icon, Lake Eyre as recent flood waters continue to move ever south.
