We visited Lake Eyre on Christmas day, 03. Unforgettable! 45deg in the shade, Had ham sangas for lunch, by the time you put it to your mouth, the edges were curling!. I know it was the worst time of year to visit, but we were "going past", so decided to have a look. Even as uncomfortable as it was, we would do it again. The utter isolation is something else, and just the shear ENORMITY of the place. We were on a trip around OZ at the time, visited the lowest and the highest place in OZ!, What an eye opener. Good to show the kids a piece of Oz, that they didn't know existed, also how and where some people live in this country! If you have the chance, do it. Would love to see it with water and birds!
