Kati Thanda Lake Eyre

[OzEclipse (Joe Cali)]

I've been out camping at Kati Thanda for the past 2 weeks.

I was at Lake Eyre for the previous big flood in 2010-2011. There was a smaller event in 2015 but the big events are 15-30+ years apart. Doing the maths, I might not be around for the next one.

Floodwaters have already made their way down the Warburton Creek into Madigan Gulf and further south to Halligan's Bay. Much bigger volumes from the SW Qld flood are currently making their way down the Cooper. They are past Innaminka and have reached the punt crossing but not the Cooper Crossing of the Birdsville Track.

Spectacular conditions, and incredible light and landscape. I was due to do an overflight but high winds cancelled my flight and they could not reschedule another flight for me for 2 weeks.

Stunning images of Kati Thanda, the colours are amazing and beautiful and the composition is 1st rate too. Would almost be like an religious experience being out there and seeing nature at its best. Thanks for sharing the images with "us" .

They are the most amazing, stunning images Joe!
It's a pity you couldn't do the fly over, I was wondering if that was on your schedule, next time, you never know and we'll have hover boards by then but I don't think they go across water, everyone knows that.

Are we going to see some MW reflections from those beautiful mirror-like waters?

I tried. That was my intention. Beautiful still air during twilight, then breeze came up every night. I only had a short window at the end of twilight before the MW climbed high and there was breeze each night.

There were groups of campers in 3 areas. One night, I walked down to the lake. Everybody in my camp shut their lights and went to bed. I became disoriented and walked past the camp I was in, along a dune, and lobbed into another group camp a few hundred metres up.
