Kati thanda / Lake Eyre trips - An outback adventure
Kati Thanda / Lake Eyre is worth visiting now - the water will not last all year
This area is fantastic. There has been rain over summer and the Lake is mostly covered now. The rivers feeding the Lake have already been flowing. Coober Pedy and the outback of SA have had its biggest rainfall in years early in February.
Why not do something exciting and experience the real outback you won't be disappointed!
