Water flows 1000km to Lake Eyre

A rare sight indeed. How good is this shot by the Sentimental Bloke, Pete MacDonald!

In fact something that may not be repeated for another 20 years or so.

The headwaters of the Cooper Creek heading for Lake Eyre in central Australia.

Apart from it’s historical significance, an almost surreal situation as the waters steadily and silently roll on through the desert sands.

It’s tipped these fresh waters, which have travelled more than a thousand kilometres from Outback Queensland, will reach Lake Eyre any day now. If interested in seeing the area from the ground or the air like Pete is at the moment check out our Lake Eyre Tour options!
