The inland river system has drained a lot of this water into Lake Eyre. The Diamantina, Warburton, Barcoo and Thompson Rivers are just a few of the creeks and rivers that make up a network of natural drainage that delivers vast amounts of water into two Lakes – Lake Eyre North and Lake Eyre South. These lakes lie within the Lake Eyre National Park which has a combined area of nearly 10,000 square klms. For the next two years or so the Lakes will come to life and swarm with pelicans, seagulls and other water birds while fish which have laid dormant in the crust of the dry lake for many years, come to life. Our tour will take us to Wilpena Pound located south east of the Lake Eyre National Park. We will stay two nights here for the chance to take a spectacular flight to see this rare event - when Lake Eyre is in flood.
