One thing is that we don't get a long weekend in April because the Holiday falls on a Saturday so that doesn't help us!
I'm actually going to head up there in around 4 weeks to have a look myself. I was up there last time it flooded and it was spectacular. I am going to take my gear up there just for the hell of it. You can get some pretty raging winds up there, especially some northerlies etc though it can get VERY gust, as all the wind comes from nothing but land!
The thought of kiting the lake though is pretty cool. How flat would it be!!
sounds sweet as, im actually up at moomba not 2 far from the lake and rumour has it that it should be fillin up fairly good in the next couple of weeks.....might have to borrow the parents rav4 for a trip.....
public holiday will be on the monday, even though it falls on a satday so its all good....and its been fairly good winds up here lately mostly around 15knots...

Nope, no public holiday this year. Look it up if you don't believe me! It was on the news lst week as traders were wondering if they were going to be able to open or had to close. Compromise has been made in that trader can open from 12 midday.
hi guys been watchin the forum for ages now and never posted till now. a mate and i are looking at a trip to eyre around anzac day. probaly leave wednesday night and come back monday for hopefully 3 good days on the water. anyone interested in forming a convoy or meeting up there. still sussing out spots but its looking good. the lake eyre yacht club website has current satellite images of the water and updates if anyone is interested.
my holidays have just been approved so there is two definates with us. we are taking a dual cab hilux so there will be a spare seat or two for anyone interested.
the drive looks to be 10 hours or so from adelaide. looking at the possibility of belt bay on the southern section of the north lake. have a family friend going up this week who is going to scout it out for me and let me know the situation.
. Shops can open from 12 middday on the Sat as well. Sounds like a great idea though.
