A friend and I will be in Broken Hill at the end of April /early May, and we are looking for 2 people to share a charter flight over Lake Eyre, Flinders Ranges and much more. I can't see how to add a link here, but just go to Silver City Air Charter web site and look for the day tour via William Creek for lunch.
