This is an exciting 7-day small group Lake Eyre Tour from Adelaide to the
famous South Australian Flinders Ranges.

Lake Eyre, located 700km north of Adelaide, is the largest salt lake in the
Southern Hemisphere — so large that it crosses the borders of three states. It
is the lowest natural point in Australia (15m below sea level), and is also,
on the rare occasions that it fills, the largest lake in Australia.

Come and see this beautiful outback marvel in the comfort of a modern 4WD
vehicle!
