Lake Eyre - full of water

Our main reason for coming to Marree was to do a flight over Lake Eyre a once in a lifetime experience. Not too often you get to see it with plenty of water & it didn't disappoint

 

 

Bob waiting for a plane to turn up. As luck would have it, the other folk didn't arrive & we got to have the flight all ourselves with the pilot

The lake is 80 X 17kms
