WRIGHTSAIR COMPANY INFORMATION:
-
William Creek settlement, where WRIGHTSAIR
is situated, is the closest town to Lake Eyre, (only 100 kilometres away). We
have an excellent knowledge of Lake Eyre, including the river systems that feed
it.
PILOTS:
-
Trevor Wright, WRIGHTSAIR'S
founder and most senior pilot,
has flown in the Outback most of his life. He lives in Australia's
smallest community William Creek, roughly 200 kilometres from any town ("..imagine having to drive
over 200 kilometres to the nearest supermarket and
having your mail delivered on the mail run only two times a week and that's only
if the road is passable!")
-
William Creek has an average rainfall of 10cm
(4 inches), temperatures that soar into the high 40Cs during the summer months
and is prone to dust storms where the visibility is reduced to 100 meters. The
roads leading in and out of it are dirt, power is supplied by household
generators, the water for drinking is tank water and highly mineralised bore
water is used for bathing.
-
Despite this isolation and lack of services Trevor
lives and breathes the outback life. He loves the charm and beauty that it has
to offer and enjoys showcasing it to passengers. Of particular interest to
Trevor is how the rugged beauty and unique colours, such as the reddish browns
of the outback relates to indigenous art.
