About this trip
Australian Desert Expeditions +science
with ornithologist Dr Boyd Wykes
For the fourth consecutive year, Eyre Creek is flowing through the dunes of the eastern Simpson Desert, a remarkable event and a reminder that this desert is part of the Lake Eyre Basin Catchment.
Whilst the flooding presents major logistical challenges, it is a spectacle to embrace, as the floodplains come alive with activity.
In 2025, we dedicated an entire survey to ornithology, recording 79 bird species over eight days, and this year, we return to build on that work, exploring a different area on the western side of Eyre Creek, encompassing dune fields and extensive gidgee forests.
Dates: July 28 to August 6
Walking days: 8
Total Days: 10
