5 hour Lake Eyre & Channel Country except Birdsville. Loved it - so amazing to see the sheer expanse of the land much of it in green bloom. We crossed four deserts, saw Lake Eyre in flood and from high above saw abundant bird life. The plane was comfy, pilot excellent and provided a great commentary. We landed for a leg stretch and refreshment pit stop in the middle of nowhere which was fun. Well worth the $. We travelled to Birdsville to catch this flight and are so happy we did.
