Having been told about Lake Eyre filling with water, (which only happens once in a while) we had headed to Maree as a taking off point. (The other one being William Creek, but that was a little further off and Stephen wanted to head back to Woomera.) The North Lake Eyre was the only one with water in it and really the northern part of that was were all the large flocks of birds were, so you could not drive out, it really needed a flight. We had had a fabulous night the night before and met all the gang involved in the caravan park and the flights...thanks guys, if you are looking in, for all your hospitality, it was great! Above a shot of the town of Maree.. then on to the Lakes.
First sign of water, this is only centimeters deep, but it goes on for miles and miles.
The time was about 10a.m. so we still got some really good light effects.
And we did manage to find Pelicans, but not in the numbers that we had appreciated from the reports...they were further north and much too long a flight for us to get to from this side..the suggestion was to fly from Birdsville.
Always a good shot...the plane shadow on the red earth of the Centre.
