Yes you do need a permit to drive into lake Eyre. No we don't sell permits at the pub. After assuring the lady on the phone that no we would not be towing anything she sold us a vehicle pass and a camp permit.
We did not have a pleasant night. We were orginally parked 90 degrees to this but just on sunset a very strong wind picked up and then came the dust/sand followed by some spots of rain. What happens if the get a storm between here and William Creek.
After turning around so that we were not broadside on we stopped rocking so much but the wind kept up well into the night.
