Pack your bags … Lake Eyre in South Australia’s Outback has water – Carolyne Jasinski

from Travel Writers Radio

When Lake Eyre in Outback South Australia sees a trickle of water, the news makes headlines all over the country. So you can imagine what happens when the lake fills ... and almost overflows. It has only happened four times in the past 160 years ... and it's happening right now. Carolyne Jasinski was lucky enough to get a bird’s eye view of the flood waters on a flight over the lake from the isolated – but now very busy town of William Creek. She talks to Trevor Wright - the town’s mayor and owner of Wrights Air. Photo: Carolyne Jasinski with Trevor Wright.
