Dynevor Lakes
Spectacular ephemeral salt lakes that appear as brilliant white or pink crusts against the red desert.
Lake Bindegolly
A glimpse of the string of lakes that form an essential sanctuary for waterbirds in the arid interior.
Artesian Bore Oases
Small, concentrated patches of bright green vegetation surrounding remote Great Artesian Basin bore heads.
Bulloo River Channels
Intricate, braided river systems and floodplains that signal the arrival into Thargomindah.
The Dynevor Lakes are the highlight of this route; they are most vibrant after recent rain or in the high morning sun. Keep your camera ready as the plane descends, as the river red gums along the Bulloo become clearly defined.
