Into Lake Eyre

Being at William Creek, it was almost obligatory to have a meal at the Hotel.
We took a day to visit Lake Eyre North, taking the track into Halligan Bay. The harsh environment, heat and salt made for some very strange landscapes on the way in.
The Lake itself, recently dried, was huge and fascinating.
Entertainment was provided by a team of 4 dung beetles pushing a load up a slope. Those little fellows work hard!
Encouraged by recent rains, we were able to see a number of desert plants coming into flower.
The perfect day was finalised with a great coffee in the pub.
