Lake Eyre National Park. South Australia

Lake Eyre is Australia's largest salt lake. 

 Lake Eyre covers over 8000sq km and is the largest salt pan in the world. 

Until 2010 the previous 100 years the lake had only  a significant amount of water in it about six times.  Weather conditions in Queensland and New South Wales caused the Cooper River to flood and water came into Lake Eyre two years in a row. Most unusual but most rewarding to the countryside. The wildflowers and spinifix reformed the area for hundred of km's.

Lake Eyre South, just off the Oodnadatta Track, 90km west of Marree is the easiest access.  

A 4WD track via Muloorina homestead and another south of William Creek lead to the lake.

Can you see our camper ?

Muloorina homestead ( gravel road out of Marree)  have provided a great camping area for travellers with artesian bore water flowing into two main water holes.  In summer the area is like a oasis and swimming is enjoyed by all that travel to the area.

The Muloorina homestead only charge a very small camp fee.

 Campers have to be self sufficient but there are toilets provided. 

 The nearest shop is at Marree.

When going through Marree - the roadhouse has the BEST bread- yummy- made the old fashion way and you have to order to make sure you obtain some.

To be self sufficient a good gas stove is the way to go. 

 Camp fires are not recommended during the dry season.
