The Lake Eyre Basin has received minimal rain over the summer unlike the previous 4 years (2009 - 2012). Records show a substantial amount of water reaches the Lake about every 10 years and is usually only for 1 or 2 years.

 At the moment both Lake Eyre South and North are dry but with local rain that can change from day to day.

Regardless of whether it has water or not a scenic flight over the Lake and the arid South Australian outback is a great experience.

   Swagabout will be offering all standard tours to the area as well as tailored options for those who wish to have a little bit more.
