Hi Paul,>
We went to Lake Eyre in mid April. We camped at Muloorina Station by the
waterhole they have there ( bore-water ),a top spot. That was a days drive
from Adelaide. You hit the dirt from Lydhurst. There's not much out there
accomodation-wise except for Muloorina or Marree.

The best way to see all the water and Hughes Island would be to fly over
it. When we went in April there was no water at the spot where the
Bluebird monument is. You could see water in Lake Eyre south heading to
William Creek on the Oodnadata Track.
