We meet at the Rawnsley Park Station Airstrip (free carparking available). Then board the aircraft to depart for a picture postcard view of Wilpena Pound in the morning sunlight. You will then fly over Wilpena Pound and the Heysen Range before heading to the North, over the township and coalfields of Leigh Creek, before flying over the iconic Marree Man. Then, before your eyes, the expanse of Lake Eyre (South and North) awaits - with or without water, the colours of Australia's largest salt lake are stunning and the landscapes are hypnotic.

Lunch (included) is at the isolated William Creek Hotel. After lunch, we depart for Wilpena Pound to land at Rawnsley Park Station. On the way, we will fly over the opal mining town of Andamooka and the colours of Lake Torrens. Our experienced Outback pilots will showcase the stunnity Outback scenery, tell you the stories of a bygone era, and allow you to relax into your holiday.
