It has been a strange year with the Covid restrictions and closures. Despite this there are still a number of significant events still to be held. At the recent Council meeting, it was resolved that Library and Museum Funds, to the extent of $3,000, be utilized to pay an honorarium to two young volunteer IT specialists to further assist with the upgrade of our current library catalogue and to provide necessary quality assurance. Quality assurance checking would involve reconciling the library items with their digital entries and addressing missing or errant records. This is an important quality control project. The volume of work undertaken by the museum volunteers and the committee has been extensive.

  • Lake Eyre, Innamincka & Birdsville
    Lake Eyre, Innamincka & Birdsville - 2 Day Flights 2 and 3 day flights from Adelaide Lake Eyre 2 day accommodated flight – overnight beautiful Innamincka. Lake Eyre is a central focus point of this flight, however it is a small part of a hugely varied and very rich flight over this outback part of Australia. Your flight will cover a large part of Australia, its outback history and interesting legends. Pelicans over Lake Eyre Water fills Lake Eyre Piper Chieftain twin aircraft used on flights Route includes Lake Eyre: Adelaide - Port Augusta (To Refuel) - Past Wilpena Pound - Burke and Wills’ Dig Tree, Queensland - Innamincka Bus Tour of Cooper Creek – Over Coongie Lakes - Birdsville - Lake Eyre North and South - Olympic Dam (To Refuel) - Adelaide. Normally, about once every decade, heavy rains in Tropical Australia create restoring floods which flow hundreds of kilometres down through country such as Dajarra, Boulia, Winton and Longreach. When these floods reach the Birdsville-Lake Eyre-Cooper Creek basin country they fill the channels, waterholes, billabongs, clay pans and lakes that create the surface of this country. This in turn creates a flood of water life – fish, crustaceans, etc. which attract some breeding pelicans and waterbirds, such as banded stilts, cormorants, spoonbills, etc. The restoring floods give life to the land and create a host of dependent animal, bird and plant life. It is amazing to fly over thousands of square kilometres of vast desert country, then find the country refreshed from recent floods. Your flight is the most comprehensive and interesting trip of the Outback of South Australia and Queensland.

    Gee, hasn’t this year gone fast!? It’s been 40 years since I started touring with my first tour to the newly opened, Western Plains Zoo in 1977. As some of you may know, we have built a new depot for our Coaches at 4 Jannali Road Dubbo. We are also going to be moving our office and departure lounge to this location, so we are all in the one place. At this stage, it is looking like we will be moving into the new office in early 2017. Over the last year, there has been many changes within our organization. We are trying to streamline the business more, and we hope that this will progress smoothly in the transition. We are looking at new marketing projects with radio, newspaper ads, social media and direct marketing. We would like to thank everyone for sticking by us while this transition is taking place. We hope you enjoy reading our new brochure, which we have tried to make more like a magazine, with a few interesting facts and puzzles to keep you entertained while you are planning your next tour. Sadly, at the beginning of this year, Alyce Newby, our Office Manager decided to take on a new path and go and work for her Husband in his business, and to study as well. We wish her all the best and she is very missed here. As you all know, Alyce was a huge part of the success of Langley’s Coaches, having been with us for 10 years. We are forever thankful for all the hard work and hours she put into our business.
