Lying on the dusty Oodnadatta Track, the tiny settlement of William Creek is South Australia’s smallest town, ironically located on the world’s largest cattle station – Anna Creek. With a population of just six (and a dog), the town comprises one of Australia’s most remote and quintessential pubs, a caravan park, motel units and the headquarters of Wrightsair. William Creek is the only fuel stop between Marree and Oodnadatta and is the closest town to Lake Eyre North. Wrightsair specialises in Kati Thanda - Lake Eyre and Anna Creek Painted Hills outback scenic flights, as well as aircraft charter. Take a flight with Wrightsair out of William Creek or Birdsville to experience the true beauty of Channel Country. If heavy rains have fallen beforehand, you’re sure to see a gorgeous fan of spidery water tendrils crisscrossing desert plains and bringing new life to the region as they flow into waterholes and provide an oasis for wildlife. Other operators also fly the Channel Country. See the website for a full list. At 144 kilometres long, 77 kilometres wide, and 15.2 metres below sea level, the vastness of Australia’s largest inland lake can only truly be appreciated from the air. Witness extraordinary birdlife along with a visual feast of incredible colours, patterns, and textures, not only on the lake itself but in the surrounding wilderness. Many tour operators regularly fly to Kati Thanda - Lake Eyre as part of a tour package, or just over the lake as a stand-alone charter. See the website for a full list.
