The water in
Lake Eyre moves around a bit with the wind. When we got to O'Hallarins bay there was no water visible, it blew a gale all night fromm the north east and when we got up the water was at the edge of the
lake right next to us.
It is worth the drive to have a look at the
lake anytime as the countryside is like nothing I have seen anywhere else. Also teh
lake looks very different near William Ck to what it does near Mulloorina Stn north of
Marree. If you are in the area it is probably having a look at both areas. Great camping at Mulloorina.
Jealous again
Duncs.

Just for your information
Lake Eyre is a dry
salt lake and has been like that for a few thousand years. Occasionally when there is excessive rain and the rivers flood the
lake might hold some water. Then it is something to behold.
I was up at Madigan Gulf in May and the
lake was as dry as a bone.
Take a flight over it as this will be
well worth the effort, water or not.
