Send to friendBack home from our 3 day Lake Eyre 'Experience' & what an experience. The team from Skinny Dingo Tours really looked after us at both Birdsville & Quilpie with accomodation, tours & meals. Would you believe that out of the 10 passengers, 6 of us were from Newcastle; all unknown to each other before Sunday. Yesterday morning in some free time in Quilpie, Barb was buying some quilting material & the shop proprietor, after enquiring where we were from, said "I was in Newcastle on Sunday"!!! Having Rupert McCall, poet & writer as our tour guide was also a real bonus & contributed a great deal to the enjoyment of the trip. Even though it was his first stint with Reef n Outback he handled it just like the professional that he is & of course seeing the lake in it's flooded state was a sight that we will long remember. Another sight that we never, ever thought we would see, was the Bourke & Wills 'Dig Tree'. Both of us had learned about that fatal expedition at school, but never dreamed that we would actually stand in that location. Thanks from both of us for a great 3 days.
