Flight Tours
In conjunction with Gawne Aviation, River Country Adventours are now providing small group (Min. 5) flight tours to some very beautiful remote places in Australia. In addition to the "Flight to Lake Eyre" there is now a 5-day tour to Sweers Island (Gulf) for a couple of days fishing or just lazing around this tropical paradise. Other destinations for 2-3 days include Flinders Ranges (Wilpena), Flinders Island, Kangaroo Island, Mungo Lodge (Walls of China) and Whitecliffs. For further information contact Rob Asplin of River Country Adventours.

The River
The Goulburn is still in minor flood mode. We have enjoyed good spring rains, and all the weirs are filling. Fish are breeding and all is well. For the next few weeks all our canoe safaris will be conducted on the nearby Murray River at Barmah. Our main campsite at Wyuna is under water at the moment. The old River Gums are really getting a good soaking!

Backpackers
Recently we had the pleasure of 5-young backpackers from Scotland. They stayed a couple of nights and really did enjoy our rivers and environs. All are in their final years of medicine, and if I ever get crook I hope they will look after me.

Another Winner
Pam Ware from Collingwood is the latest winner for a couple of days camping and canoeing on the Goulburn River, Pam knew early that Lake Frome is situated in South Australia......well done Pam!

Lake Eyre Report
We have vacancies for the next tour to see Lake Eyre in flood departing from Shepparton on October 10 for 3-days at William Creek. When the huge lake is in flood it is one of the natural wonders of the world. More details and bookings email us on info@adventours.com.au .

Sydney or the Bush?
The Olympic Games is the greatest show on Earth. The goodwill that this has given our nation is immeasurable. It is hoped that the millions of people from all over the world will be planning their holidays over here, not just to see our cities but our unique bush as well.

Cheers for now,
