Late last year we travelled with a group of friends to South Australia where we took a flight over the flooded Lake Eyre. This lake is only suppose to flood once in a generation, but 2010 was the second year in a row that it has flooded and by the looks of it, it will flood again next year.
It's a spectacular view from a small plane flying over this inland sea.
