Witness one of Australia’s most remarkable natural spectacles on a journey designed for those seeking something truly different. Travelling by air, you will experience the ever changing expanse of Lake Eyre from above, where vast salt lakes, winding river systems and shifting colours reveal a landscape few will ever see.

Following significant rainfall across Western Queensland in late 2025 and early 2026, vast volumes of water are now moving south into the Lake Eyre Basin. As the system responds, channels begin to fill, salt pans transform, and the landscape steadily comes to life.

This is not a fixed moment, but one that continues to evolve. With each passing week, the lake changes in scale, colour and movement, offering a different perspective on every departure.

Your journey begins this morning as you depart Brisbane, travelling west to Charleville, the gateway to Queensland’s outback. On arrival, enjoy morning tea before exploring the town with your local guide, gaining insight into the region’s history and unique character.

Step back in time with a visit to the World War II Secret Base, where interactive displays bring to life the experiences of the 3,500 United States Army Air Force personnel once stationed here. Through immersive exhibits, uncover stories of classified missions, wartime life and the people who shaped this fascinating chapter in Charleville’s history.

You will also visit the Royal Flying Doctor Service Visitor Centre, offering a compelling look into one of Australia’s most iconic outback services. Learn how this vital lifeline continues to support remote communities today, with an introductory film and displays showcasing the evolution of medical care across the outback.

Reboarding the aircraft, continue west to the remote outpost of Birdsville, located on the edge of the Simpson Desert. After settling into your iconic accommodation, set out to explore the town and its surrounds, including the historic racetrack, the Diamantina River, Burke and Wills Tree and the geothermal power station.

As the afternoon unfolds, venture beyond the township toward Big Red, the largest sand dune in the region. With your experienced local guide, ascend this striking natural landmark and take in sweeping views across the desert landscape. As the sun sets, enjoy chef prepared canapés and refreshments in this truly unforgettable setting, where the colours of the outback shift across the horizon.

Overnight: Birdsville Hotel

Departing Birdsville, follow the winding channels of the Diamantina River as it leads you toward the vast expanse of Lake Eyre. Transformed by recent rainfall, the landscape below shifts from rich earth tones to vibrant greens, before the deep blues of Lake Eyre North come into view as you cross into South Australia. From the air, the scale is extraordinary, an immense inland sea stretching to the horizon, alive with colour and movement.

Continuing your scenic flight, pass over Belt Bay and the southern reaches of Lake Eyre North, where wildlife gathers along the salt rich shores. Here, the lake reveals its most dynamic character, with changing water levels, shifting colours and a landscape that feels both powerful and ever evolving.

Arriving at the remote outpost of William Creek, enjoy the opportunity, weather permitting, to take a scenic flight to the remarkable Anna Creek Painted Hills for morning tea. Rising from an otherwise flat desert landscape, these striking formations display layers of colour shaped over millions of years, creating one of the outback’s most unique natural features.

Returning to William Creek, enjoy lunch at the historic William Creek Hotel, established in 1887 as a vital stop along the Old Ghan Railway. After time to explore this iconic outback settlement, reboard the aircraft for a second aerial perspective of Lake Eyre North, offering another opportunity to appreciate its scale, wildlife and ever changing hues.

As you depart the lake, look out for the remarkable Marree Man, an immense geoglyph etched into the landscape. Measuring 4.2 kilometres in height and 28 kilometres in perimeter, its origins remain unknown, adding an element of mystery to this already extraordinary region.

Your journey then continues east across the Strzelecki Desert and the striking salt lakes of South Australia before arriving in the remote New South Wales outback town of Tibooburra. Rich in gold rush history, this character filled settlement is home to your accommodation for the evening.

Overnight: Tibooburra Hotel

Departing Tibooburra, travel east to Lightning Ridge, home to the rare and highly prized Black Opal. Unlike other opals, these remarkable stones display vivid flashes of colour set against a dark background, making them among the most valuable gemstones in the world.

During your time in Lightning Ridge, explore a collection of the town’s most iconic sites, including the Bottle House and Museum, the historic Three Mile Flat Miners Settlement, Amigo’s Castle and the John Murray Art Gallery. You will also enjoy an opal cutting demonstration, accompanied by morning tea with freshly baked scones, jam and cream.

In the afternoon, descend underground for a truly unique experience at the Chamber of the Black Hand. Here, more than 900 sculptures have been intricately carved into sandstone walls across 26 chambers, creating an extraordinary subterranean gallery. You will also visit a working opal mine on a fully guided tour, gaining insight into the lives, challenges and stories behind the enduring search for opals.

Later, reboard the aircraft for your return journey to Brisbane, flying over the changing landscapes of Goondiwindi and Warwick before descending back into the city.

Itinerary - Sydney (Bankstown) Departure

ENQUIRE/BOOK NOW

Your journey begins as you depart Bankstown Airport, travelling west to the remarkable outback town of White Cliffs, renowned for its underground dwellings and rich opal heritage. On arrival, explore the opal fields with your local guide, gaining insight into the unique regulations, challenges and stories that define life in this remote mining community.

During your visit, step inside a private dugout, an extraordinary underground home that reveals both the practicality and creativity of life beneath the surface. Here, you will discover a fascinating collection of artworks, including a one tonne gumtree and even a megalodon tooth, adding to the character of this truly unique setting.

White Cliffs is also home to the rare and striking Pineapple Opal, prized for its intricate patterns and vibrant colour. This remarkable gemstone reflects the town’s long standing reputation as one of Australia’s most distinctive opal producing regions.

Later in the afternoon, depart White Cliffs and take in the vast outback landscape from above, where red earth and spinifex stretch to the horizon and the pale clay ridges create a striking contrast against the terrain below. Continue on to Leigh Creek, your destination for the evening.

Overnight: Leigh Creek Outback Resort

Departing Leigh Creek, the landscape opens into vast and remote country as you make your way toward Lake Eyre. Your first glimpse of Lake Eyre South offers a striking contrast, a region that is often dry, yet transformed by significant rainfall into something truly extraordinary.

Continuing your scenic flight, pass over Belt Bay and the southern reaches of Lake Eyre North, where wildlife gathers along the salt rich shores. From the air, the scale is immense, with waterways, salt pans and shifting colours revealing a landscape that is constantly evolving. At its lowest point, the lake sits 15 metres below sea level, adding to the uniqueness of this remarkable natural system.

Arriving at the remote outpost of William Creek, enjoy the opportunity, weather permitting, to take a scenic flight to the Anna Creek Painted Hills for morning tea. Rising from an otherwise flat desert landscape, these striking formations display layers of colour shaped over millions of years, creating one of the outback’s most distinctive natural features.

Returning to William Creek, enjoy lunch at the historic William Creek Hotel, established in 1887 as a vital stop along the Old Ghan Railway. After time to explore this iconic outback settlement, reboard the aircraft for a second aerial perspective over Lake Eyre North, offering further opportunity to appreciate its vast scale, wildlife and ever changing hues.

As you depart the lake, look out for the remarkable Marree Man, an immense geoglyph etched into the landscape. Measuring 4.2 kilometres in height and 28 kilometres in perimeter, its origins remain unknown, adding an element of mystery to this already extraordinary region.

Descending into the historic outback town of Marree, located at the junction of the Birdsville and Oodnadatta Tracks, uncover a place deeply connected to Australia’s pioneering past. Once a key hub along the legendary Ghan Railway, Marree played an important role in opening up the interior, with Afghan cameleers and their camel trains shaping transport and trade across the region.

This afternoon, enjoy time at leisure to explore the town, including the historic Marree Hotel and the nearby railway station, where remnants of the old Ghan and stories of the past remain preserved.

Overnight: Leigh Creek Outback Resort

After breakfast, depart for the journey east, where the landscape gradually transitions from the remote outback toward one of Australia’s most historic mining centres, Broken Hill. Known as the “Silver City,” Broken Hill’s modern story began in 1883 with the discovery of vast lead, silver and zinc deposits, sparking a mining boom that transformed this once isolated settlement into a thriving outback city. Today, its rich heritage is reflected in its grand architecture, historic streetscapes and enduring connection to Australia’s mining legacy.

On arrival, explore the town with time to visit some of its most significant landmarks. At the Line of Lode Miners Memorial, gain a deeper understanding of the lives and sacrifices of more than 700 miners who lost their lives since the earliest days of mining, a powerful reminder of the industry that shaped the region. You will also visit the historic Power Station, offering insight into the infrastructure that supported this once booming town.

Broken Hill is also renowned for its strong artistic identity. You will have the opportunity to visit the Pro Hart Art Gallery and experience The Big Picture, the world’s largest acrylic painting on canvas by a single artist, showcasing the creativity and cultural depth that defines this unique outback community.

As your time in Broken Hill draws to a close, return to the aircraft for your final flight back to Sydney. From above, watch as the rugged outback landscapes give way to fertile farmland, with the wind farms south of Orange stretching across the horizon. Crossing the Great Dividing Range, the scenery shifts once more as you descend toward the east coast.

Arriving back in Sydney, your journey concludes having travelled across vast and remote regions of Australia, experiencing landscapes, stories and perspectives few will ever encounter.

Itinerary - Adelaide (Main Airport) Departure

ENQUIRE/BOOK NOW

Your journey begins as you depart Adelaide, heading north across the rugged Benda Range and the vast interior of South Australia. As the landscape unfolds beneath you, take in views of Broken Hill to the east and the expansive Strzelecki Desert to the west before descending into the remote outback settlement of Tibooburra for morning tea.

Here, visit the historic Tibooburra Hotel, originally built in 1882 during the Australian gold rush. Constructed from locally quarried sandstone, this iconic outback pub, affectionately known as “The Two Storey”, remains a proud symbol of the region’s resilience and character.

Reboarding the aircraft, continue north over the isolated township of Innamincka, where recent floodwaters have transformed the landscape into a vibrant tapestry of green. Following the winding channels of the Diamantina River, descend into Birdsville, a remote outpost on the edge of the Simpson Desert and a key gateway to the Lake Eyre Basin.

Enjoy lunch at the legendary Birdsville Hotel before exploring the town and its surrounds, including the famous Birdsville Racecourse. Subject to conditions, you may also experience the striking Big Red sand dunes, where sweeping views across the desert reveal the scale and beauty of this remarkable region.

Departing Birdsville, follow the river systems that feed into Lake Eyre North, including the Diamantina and Warburton Rivers. Soon, the vast expanse of the lake comes into view, its shimmering surface stretching toward the horizon. From the air, pass over Belt Bay and Jackboot Bay, where wildlife gathers along the salt rich shores and the lake’s immense scale becomes truly apparent.

Continuing west, arrive in Coober Pedy, the opal capital of the world and home to the renowned White Opal. On arrival, check in to your unique underground accommodation, carved into the sandstone hillside, offering a truly distinctive outback experience.

Later this afternoon, venture into Kanku National Park to explore the remarkable landscapes of the Moon Plains and the Breakaways. Shaped over millennia, these striking formations create an otherworldly scene of colour, texture and vast open space. As the land falls away into sweeping plains and rugged outcrops, take in the beauty of this unforgettable setting.

Overnight: Desert Cave Hotel – Underground Room

After breakfast, join your local guide for an in depth exploration of Coober Pedy, a town unlike anywhere else in Australia. Discover the unique way of life that exists beneath the surface as you visit an opal mine and museum, an underground home and a church, along with one of the most distinctive golf courses in the world.

Gain insight into the challenges and rewards of opal mining, watch a stone cutting demonstration and experience firsthand how residents have adapted to life underground in this remarkable environment. You will also have the opportunity to view a wide selection of opal stones and jewellery, showcasing the beauty and diversity of this iconic gemstone.

This afternoon is yours to enjoy at leisure. You may wish to continue exploring the town, visit the local information centre, search for a special opal to take home, or simply relax and enjoy the unique surroundings of your accommodation.

Later in the day, ascend to the Big Winch, the highest point in Coober Pedy, for an immersive Outback cinematic experience. As the sun begins to set across the vast desert landscape, enjoy drinks and a three course dinner while taking in the ever changing colours of the horizon. This unique setting provides a memorable conclusion to your time in Coober Pedy.

This morning, depart Coober Pedy and travel to the remote outpost of William Creek, a settlement of just a handful of residents set deep within the South Australian outback. From here, you may have the opportunity, weather permitting, to take a scenic flight to the remarkable Anna Creek Painted Hills for morning tea. Rising from an otherwise flat desert landscape, these striking formations reveal layers of colour shaped over millions of years, creating one of the region’s most distinctive natural features. (This experience operates between March and October, with a seasonal adjustment applied outside these months.)

Returning to William Creek, enjoy lunch at the historic William Creek Hotel, established in 1887 as a vital stop along the Old Ghan Railway. After time to explore this iconic outback settlement, reboard the aircraft for an extended scenic flight over both Lake Eyre North and South.

From the air, the scale of the lake is truly extraordinary. Watch as wildlife gathers along the salt rich shores and the colours shift across the surface, from deep blues and silvers to soft greens and pinks, shaped by the presence of water and salt loving algae. It is a perspective that reveals the lake in all its complexity and beauty.

As you depart the lake, look out for the remarkable Marree Man, an immense geoglyph etched into the landscape. Measuring 4.2 kilometres in height and 28 kilometres in perimeter, its origins remain unknown, adding an element of mystery to this already extraordinary region.

Landing in the historic township of Marree, located at the junction of the Birdsville and Oodnadatta Tracks, uncover a place deeply connected to Australia’s pioneering past. Once a key hub along the legendary Ghan Railway, Marree played a vital role in opening up the interior, with Afghan cameleers and their camel trains shaping transport and trade across the region.

This afternoon, enjoy time at leisure to explore the town, including the historic Marree Hotel and the nearby railway station, where remnants of the old Ghan and stories of the past remain preserved.

Your final flight takes you south over the mining town of Leigh Creek, between the vast salt lakes of Torrens and Frome, and across the dramatic landscapes of the Flinders Ranges.

Itinerary - Coffs Harbour, Tamworth and Dubbo Departure

ENQUIRE/BOOK NOW

This particular Lake Eyre Escape tour departs from our private hangar at Archerfield (Brisbane) and flies to Coffs Harbour to pick up our guests who are joining us from there. We then depart to Tamworth and Dubbo in central NSW to pick up our local guests from these towns before heading to White Cliffs.

Renowned for its subterranean dwellings, and the legendary Pineapple Opal, is the outback town of White Cliffs. During our stay, you’ll see local opal mines and your guide will share stories of mining in this small town. You will also explore a private dugout that showcases an incredible collection of unique artworks, including a 1-tonne gumtree and a megalodon tooth.

The Pineapple Opal is a testament to White Cliffs’ status as a treasure trove of opal deposits. This exquisite stone is prized for its intricate pattern of colours, making it one of the world’s most valuable gemstones.

As we depart White Cliffs, take in the breathtaking views of the vast landscape unfolding below. The town’s picturesque setting, surrounded by red earth and spinifex grass, provides a stunning backdrop to its rich history. The white clay cliffs that give the town its name offer a striking contrast to the vibrant hues of the opals discovered here. We will leave late in the afternoon, bound for Leigh Creek.

Leigh Creek Outback Resort – Motel/Cabin Room

Today’s adventure begins with an amazing aerial view of the Marree Man. This feature ‘stands’ at 4.2 kilometres tall, measures 28 kilometres around its perimeter, and depicts a hunter with a stick. To this day, there is still no credible information known about the individual responsible for creating the world’s second largest geoglyph, located just on the outer banks of Kati Thanda – Lake Eyre. Leaving the Marree Man, we get our first glimpse of Lake Eyre South. This area is often dry and only fills with water during significant rainfall, a rare occurrence.

As we continue our Lake Eyre scenic flight, we pass over the well-known Belt Bay. The southernmost part of Lake Eyre North is where an abundance of wildlife thrives in the salt-rich shores. It holds most of the lake’s annual rainfall, and its deepest part has been recorded at 15 metres below sea level.

Arriving in William Creek, population 15, we have the opportunity to fly on a local flight, to Anna Creek Painted Hills for morning tea. This is a rocky outcrop of large and small hills, which emerge out of a flat, desert landscape. The hills are approximately 20km by 18km in size and 

Flying back to William Creek for lunch, you will be amazed by the history of the (once) boarding house. The William Creek Hotel began its life back in 1887, providing a place to eat and sleep for the labourers on the Old Ghan Railway. After lunch and a tour of the small outback town, we take flight again to see more of the incredible Lake Eyre North. This spectacular vantage point will allow you to gaze down on the lake’s wildlife and perhaps even spot the waters changing colours by the salt-loving algae.

Flying south to our next stop, we land in the small town of Marree. Located 57 km southeast of Lake Eyre, at the junction of the Birdsville and Oodnadatta tracks, Marree is a unique town with an incredible history. In the late 19thCentury, the construction of the great Ghan Railway marked a major chapter in Australian history, connecting Adelaide’s southern coast to the far reaches of Darwin. This would facilitate trade and transport of cattle from the surrounding areas to the markets. In 1878, the mammoth task of laying the Ghan Railway through the Australian outback began. Afghan labourers and their camels played a huge role in the construction and maintenance of the railway, forming settlements known as ‘Ghantowns’, which still exist today. The labourers, experiencing unimaginable hardships and battling the unforgiving environment of the Outback, pressed through, reaching Hawker in 1880, Beltana in 1881, Marree in 1884, and Oodnadatta in 1891.

The afternoon is yours to enjoy a light afternoon tea, before walking around the Marree hotel at your leisure, learning more about its history. You may even find yourself over the road at the old Marree railway station. It still has old locomotives, information about the railway, and what it provided the residents of Marree.

Leigh Creek Outback Resort – Motel/Cabin Room

After breakfast, we depart on our way back to the east coast, passing through one of the richest mining towns in all of Australia. Broken Hill’s modern story

Began in 1883 when Charles Rasp discovered lead deposits, sparking a mining boom that transformed the town into a thriving metropolis. Today, Broken Hill’s mining legacy is still celebrated, with its heritage-listed buildings, museums, and iconic mining landmarks, a testament to its storied past. As we drive through the town, take in the sights and sounds of this iconic outback city, known affectionately as the “Silver City.”

We will visit the old Power Station, and the ‘Line of Lode Miners Memorial’ where 700+ men had died since mining started back in the 1800’s. You will also have the opportunity to visit the Pro Hart Art Gallery, and the ‘The Big Picture’, the world’s largest acrylic painting on canvas painted by a single artist.

Leaving Silver City, we fly back to your regional town, passing The Great Dividing Range.

Itinerary - Hervey Bay, Kingaroy, Roma and Charleville Departure

ENQUIRE/BOOK NOW

This particular Lake Eyre Escape tour departs from our private hangar at Archerfield (Brisbane) and flies to Hervey Bay to pick up our guests who are joining us from there. We then depart to Kingaroy, Roma and Charleville in central Qld. to pick up our local guests from these towns before heading to Tibooburra.

While in Charleville you will experience what life was like for the 3500 United States Army Air Force personnel stationed in Charleville, as you visit the World War II Secret Base with its interactive displays. Some displays include ocean voyages, Top Secret information, classified missions, wartime romances, commanding a bombing raid, and much more.

The Tibooburra Hotel, which was originally built in 1882 during the Australian Gold Rush, was constructed from locally quarried sandstone.

After breakfast, we depart on our way back to the east coast and call into to the first town to produce hydroelectricity in Australia, Thargomindah. Our visiting Thargomindah will help support the community as it recovers from the 2025 floods.

Take a brief step back in time as you take a self-guided tour through the Artesian Hydro Power Plant, believed to be the oldest working unit in Australia, and possibly the world. Water was struck at a depth of 808 metres back in 1893, and this supplied the town with a much-needed essential. The bore then became a source of energy for Australia’s first hydroelectric scheme, and in 1898, Thargomindah’s streetlights were powered by generators coupled to a water turbine.

After lunch our flight continues through the towns to return our guests to their home locations.
