Hi Kerbar
As you may be aware or not, but to view
Lake Eyre North, you can see it from both the east and western sides and both are very different.
I find that the eastern side is better and this is accessed from
Muloorina Station with a good road up to the
camping area. From there to
Level Post Bay is 46 kilometres and can be corrugated, but no real dramas. The camping at Muloorina is just fantastic and it is worth stopping here, as from the western side, you can not
camp anywhere along the road in ( not that you would want to as it is very vast, open land and very little timber if you wanted a campfire )
The western side of
Lake Eyre North is accessed around 10 kilometres south of
William Creek along the
Oodnadatta Track and then it is 50 kilometres to
ABC Bay or 60 Kilometres to
Halligan Bay. The road in again is through pastoral roads and will have all tyes of conditions, but the moment that you hit the National Park Boundary, it is a slow drive due to the corrugations.
In August last year, if you believe all the hyped up media reports, the
lake was fun.....Joke, Joke. The
lake may have had water in it further north and only visible from the air, but a dear way to find out if there was no water there.
Never believe what the media has to say, as more often than not it is a way of getting people out there and to view if from the only possible way....by air.
If you only wanted to visit one location, I personally would vote
Level Post Bay for a better drive in, fantastic camping only 46 from the
lake and a very easy drive from
Marree.
Cheers
Stephen
