Heading up this way in a few weeks. Just wondering where are the best spots to view lake eyre (excluding the air) at the moment?

Hi Dicko
There has been lots posted here on the
forum but what is new is a service now out of
Lyndhurst Pub. They were the same price as
Marree with the bonus of extra flying time and seeing the Flinders from the air as
well.
Cheers
Stephen

I was up that way a few weeks ago and went out to
Halligan Bay where there was plenty of water to see. The
Oodnadatta track was in very good condition but the access road was pretty corrugated.

Hi Dicko
You could take the track from
William Creek to the
lookout, it's about 120kl return and it's in pretty good nick.
Cheers

Went to the nth lake access via Muloorina Stn last week. The road from the station has a few corrugations in the sand
hill area but not too bad. The water was a long way out however...500 m? Disappointed to see some yahoos had left wheelie marks from trail bikes on the shore which spoiled the vision for me. The station had some good camping grounds and
toilet facilities. Even found a site with plenty of wood which seems to be coming a rarity.

Hi Dicko,
Travelling from
Marree to
William Creek there are 3 main spots.
1) Just after leaving
Marree you can go 55 kms to
Muloorina Station and
camp on the bank of the Frome River that has water in it from the station
homestead Artesian
Bore. Lovely
camp area, but no showers. Then travel 45 kms to
Level Post Bay on the south eastern corner of Lake Eyre North past a small portion of the south lake. I am not sure if any water there at moment.
2) From
Marree you can head towards
William Creek and just before the old
railway siding of
Curdimurka you will not miss the southern side of Lake Eyre South from the road. It is around 2-300 meters from the road.
3) From
William Creek there is a road to Haligan Bay on the south western side of the north lake. l have not been to this spot but evidently very good viewing and camping spot.
Hope this is what you want, happy travelling and enjoy Gods Country.
Cheers P&J
