Lake Eyre

[blanikdog]

Not that anyone cares but tomorrow I'm flying to Lake Eyre in South Australia for a few days.
Lake Eyre - for non aussies is in Central Oz and is fifty feet below sea level and has been dry for the last twenty five years. It's now full and birdlife and stuff is unbelievable 'they' say. I won't be around for a cuppla days so behave or my mate tater will take care of y'alls.

I am genuinely envious, Mr B. In the nicest possible way, of course.

Have a bloody good time, cobber.

Are you bird hunting, fishing, or just sight seeing? If fishing, and btw fish make an amazing fast come back in a situation like you describe, catch a big one for me. Bird (duck, goose, etc.) I am not much into. You can keep the one you shoot for me for yourself.

In any event have a good holiday.

What a stuf up this turned out to be!!!!

First day we were stuck on the ground all day cos the weather was shit!!!!!

Second day we got in the air OK, but the weather turned into worse shit than the previous day, and as we had full fuel tanks we had to fly around the storm to use fuel before we could land. We were by now several hundred miles east of the planned destination, stuck on the ground, and in pubs all day...................again.

Third day beautiful weather, frosty morning and perfect for flying so we took the guys to Broken Hill cos the had never seen the outback Aussie desert. Had lunch and flew home that afternoon having been 600 km short of Lake Eyre, but the townies at least saw the desert and Lake Mungo where the oldest (c40,000years) human remains in Australia have been found....so far. It's been a long time since I was there last and a can't understand how people can live in such a remote envirenment. We flew over 1500 km of desert at 8500 feet and saw two stations.

Nice to be back.
