G'day G'day,
Continuing on from last video, after our beautiful evening on the salt pan aan a short trek from Poeppel Corner we headed back to the stunning Eyre Creek we'd witnessed the day before. A once in a 10-20 year occasion according to local Birdsville folks. Eyre creek rarely runs, it needs a lot of localised rain fall or the Diamantina River is in flood, even then a combination of both usually will fill the script. Although it added 80 odd kms to the trip it provided one of the most epic experiences that we'll remember for the rest of our lives. camped at the base of a red dune on some green grass and bathing in the waters of the desert. It was not captured on video, however... whilst enjoying the campfire we were blessed with one of the biggest/closest meteors of our lives also. The sky whistled and we all locked onto what then started glowing into a big fire ball. It lit the night like day with a purple hue, it lasted all of about 3 seconds. We were stunned, awestruck and in disbelief. It reminded us of how small we are in the universe but also how blessed we are for the experience we were having in that special place among the Simpson Desert.
Enjoy!
