| “ | Australia is renowned for its diversity of environments, from ultra-modern urban, to rolling mountains, to dense tropical rainforests, and much more. One of the great ways to experience this variety is to travel from one realm into another, exploring each and the transition between them. One of the best of the journeys lies in the state of South Australia, along a corridor that runs from the Indian Ocean, north across stretches of savannah, and into the Tirari Desert. This journey begins at the northern extremity of the Spencer Gulf, part of the Indian Ocean's Great Australian Bight, visiting coastline, cities and towns, and ends in the harsh and mysterious desert in the area of Lake Eyre. The lowest point in Australia at roughly 50 feet below sea level, Lake Eyre is spectacular from the air, revealing its myriad elegant largescale facets that are best appreciated from above. Assistance on the trip will be available in the form of a 'Back of Track' button — however, be advised that using this will disable achievements tied to the activity. |
