To William Creek, Lake Eyre and beyond ............

 

On the way to William Creek ... we drove through a gap in the longest man-made structure in the world - yup The DOG Fence its still standing and its a mere 5,400 kms long!! The original lenght was about 8,600kms ... unreal eh? Now wouldn't you like to be the fencing contractor!!??

This the hardiest and smartest plant in a semi-desert regent - its the mulga - pls note that all its leaves and limbs all point up hence it can capture any moisture that is in the air! Its wood is very dense and hard and makes the best firewood ... trivia heard by Gary on his Mailrun tour .. which is another story in itself ...

This the girls in the oh-so famous William Creek Hotel/Pub ...the whole interior is covered with hundreds of business cards and personal 'trash'! It is quite a sight ....This 'funny' sign was up on the wall for a laugh?? The food was pretty yummy though ... I consumed a huge hamburger with the lot .... hopefully it was real beef and not .....the fauna of the national emblem!

   

This sign greets you as you approach the shore line of Lake Eyre at Halligan Bay. A warning not to be ignored!

Here they are the posers in Lake Eyre!! While they were strolling in the waters of Lake Eyre - I was 1,500kms above - getting the aerial view which was amazing ...but I wished I could have walked in the Lake too....

 Poppy making sure that its 'real' ... or was she trying to catch a little fish??!

 

 The 3 Lawlors .... Gary has mastered this 'self-portrait' trick when he was cycling by his lonesome up the alps in France!!

 Yes! They are definitely in the Lake! How awesome is that?!

This is the beyond that G woud love to zooooooom to...................
