Lake Eyre can be seen from several vantage points along the Oodnadatta Track and appears as a large, rather featureless, white saltpan.
It is only from the air that its immensity can be appreciated.
The curvature of the Earth can be seen on the horizon and beneath it is possible to identify the courses of the ancient rivers that still occasionally flow into the lake.
Trevor Wright and the pilots from Wrightsair  take up to five passengers for a 60-minute flight out of William Creek, passing over the spectacular Painted Hills to the west, then along the southern edge of the lake, pointing out the features beneath and explaining the topography.
The Painted Hills are brilliantly coloured eroded sandstone ridges.
These, and all of the country traversed in the one-hour flight, are part of Anna Creek Station.
From the air the Track can be seen, stretching to the horizon in two directions.
