Following record-breaking rains across Queensland’s Channel Country, the usually arid landscapes of Cooper Creek, Goyder Lagoon, and Kati Thanda–Lake Eyre have surged to life, creating a rare and mesmerizing spectacle. This phenomenon, occurring only a few times each century, has seen floodwaters from the Diamantina and Cooper systems converge, revitalizing the outback with a burst of desert life. (SciTech Daily, Earth Observatory, Australian Traveller)

Spirit Safaris’ “Lake Eyre Tours and Flights 2025” offers an unparalleled opportunity to witness this natural wonder. Their expertly curated tours provide both 4WD adventures and scenic flights, allowing travelers to experience the outback’s rebirth from multiple perspectives. A highlight includes a 2-hour flight over Lake Eyre, showcasing the Warburton Groove’s major inflow, the Tirari Desert, and landmarks like Elliot Price Conservation Park and Belt Bay. (Spirit Safaris, Spirit Safaris)

As the floodwaters continue their journey, they bring with them a resurgence of wildlife. Birdlife, including pelicans, swans, and banded stilts, are expected to flock to the region, taking advantage of the newly formed wetlands. The convergence of these natural events offers a fleeting window to experience the outback in a state of vibrant renewal.

Don’t miss this once-in-a-decade opportunity to immerse yourself in the outback’s dramatic transformation. Join Spirit Safaris’ “Lake Eyre Tours and Flights 2025” and be part of this extraordinary journey through Australia’s rejuvenated landscapes.

Cooper Creek Lake Eyre Floods Nappa Merrie Burke and Wills Bridge Legacy

Adventure Tourism Adventure Travel Art Tours Australian Tours Australian Travel Blogs Cultural Heritage No Comments
By Richard O’Neill – Spirit Safaris
“So hello…” I begin casually, sitting across from an old friend and mentor—John Ivering, the engineer behind one of the outback’s most iconic (yet largely unsung) infrastructure projects: the Nappa Merrie Bridge, also locally known as the Burke and Wills Bridge. John and I go way back. He was my engineering lecturer at university in the mid-1970s, and these days we often catch up over a morning swim and coffee—when I’m not out exploring the remote corners of Australia with Spirit Safaris.

The Bridge with Many Names

The bridge in question spans Cooper Creek in far southwestern Queensland, near the famous Burke and Wills Dig Tree and historic Nappa Merrie Station once owned by Sir Sidney Kidman. While we often refer to it as “John’s Bridge,” the official plaque calls it the Burke and Wills Bridge—a touch ironic, as John notes with a laugh: “Burke and Wills never had a bridge!”

The Dream and the Design

The story begins in the early 1980s when Bob Willing, an engineer and hydrology enthusiast, envisioned a route across the ever-unpredictable Cooper Creek—where water levels could shift from bone-dry to 20 kilometers wide.Cooper Creek Lake Eyre Floods Nappa Merrie Burke and Wills Bridge Legacy flood maps

“Bob was the initiator,” John explains. “He got me on board to design the bridge and together we toured the outback to persuade the shires to support the idea.”

In 1974, a major flood event provided unexpected help: NASA satellite images captured the full spread of Cooper Creek, and somehow, Bob managed to acquire over 100 of those aerial photographs. “We used a stereoscope to estimate elevation and plan a feasible route. That’s how we narrowed the site down to where the bridge now stands—where the creek is ‘only’ about 300 meters wide,” John recalls.

 

Designing a bridge in such a remote, flood-prone location demanded innovative thinking. The road to engineering standards didn’t run straight.

Built to Withstand Huge Floods

While John designed for about two meters of overtopping, recent floods may have exceeded even that.

Bridge Design

“The standard is to build for a one-in-100-year flood,” John says. “But out there, you get floods every year. So I suggested a submersible bridge, which was unheard of at the time. It cut the cost in half.”

The bridge’s design also had to allow for strong current flow and debris impacts, like floating trees. “We offset the footings to counteract current pressure and built the deck in three continuous sections to provide redundancy if one part took damage.”

Even the handrail was a point of debate. “We had to make it stronger than standard—while still low enough to avoid catching debris and forming a dam.”

 

Not Just a Bridge — A Legacy

Over the years, John’s bridge has quietly earned international attention. He once contributed a half-page description to the International Bridge Engineers Association, who promptly asked for more: “They said, ‘That’s different. Tell us everything.’”More than a piece of infrastructure, this bridge helped reopen historic stock routes once used by Kidman and the great drovers. It connected isolated communities, made life just a little easier for people of the outback, and challenged traditional engineering norms.“It might not be the biggest,” John reflects, “but it’s the most different bridge I ever built—and I’ve built about 50.”

A Touch of History Nearby

Just down the road lies the Burke and Wills Dig Tree, a symbol of tragedy and tenacity in Australian exploration history. As John notes, “There was controversy about which tree was the real one—both had ‘DIG’ carved into them—but I saw the one with regrowth around the hole. That seemed convincing to me.”

And Still Going Strong

John fondly recalls a visit  years ago when he saw workers trying to remove a sunken approach slab with jackhammers. “I told them, ‘Just jack it up and pack it underneath.’ They were surprised and pleased. I told them, ‘Don’t worry—I designed it.’”

A Bridge for the People

“This bridge added something special to my CV,” John says. “Australia has been good to me, and it was nice to give something back. It’s a bridge that went against convention. And it worked.”

At Spirit Safaris, we’re proud to travel across John and Bob’s bridge on our outback adventures—especially when guiding guests to places like the Dig Tree, Lake Eyre, Innamincka, Birdsville and the Corner Country.

Floodwaters will recede, but stories like these—and the bridges that make them possible—stand the test of time.

 10 Top Tips for Outback Tour Travel from Spirit Safaris 

This page and video introduces 10 Top Tips for Outback tour travel from Spirit Safaris. Your enjoyment and safety will benefit by checking this out. Spirit Safaris have been outback touring for near 30 years, and these unique helpful hints are intended to make your outback tour adventure more enjoyable.

  1. For best photos bring a Black or Dark shirt to wear in light aircraft to minimise reflection on windows.
  2. Kimberly early season from May catches greener grasses and fuller waterfalls but maybe some rain & road closures. Mid May / June to early September are optimum times for weather.
  3. Bring old shoes (sneakers or crocs) for watery walks like through Tunnel Creek
  4. Bring a good headlight torch, spare batteries & USB cable – You’ll be amazed how handy they are.
  5. Pack up early for an early start – wildlife are out early to catch the early worms & avoid the days heat.
  6. Mobile Phone coverage is slim. Telstra works best but virtually no coverage in the Kimberley, except public or our on board satellite phone.
  7. Bring an extra plastic bag for wet swimmers or shoes.
  8. A broad brimmed hat & long sleeved shirts are better sun protection than chemical & heavy metal sunscreens
  9. Look away from passing vehicles to protect eyes and face, as stones often fly.
  10. Take sensible strong shoes for some rocky dusty walks and sandals to relax.

Our very small group (2-4 people per 4WD) tours from Broken Hill are connecting people to each other and unique nature and the extraordinary beauty and history in our own backyard.

The Silo Art Trail is part of the 12 day tour, and is a new phenomenon of massive and beautiful artworks on outback grain silos in remote country towns. The artworks are a photographers delight, with such uniquely Australian images.

The 12 day tour from Broken Hill and Sydney includes visiting such sites as the Siding Springs Observatory in the Warrumbungle Ranges near Coonabarabran, Mungo National Park, Broken Hill, and the Darling River Run, Burke and Wills camp on the banks of Menindee Lakes. People can take a cruise on the Jandra paddleboat from Bourke and revisit the ancient Aboriginal fish traps in Brewarrina that are more than 40,000 years old.
