Knight Inlet Lodge New Initiative
Knight Inlet Lodge is pleased to announce its latest initiative for our environment that will also help save our bears. Starting with our 2009 season we will no longer be supplying guests with individual plastic bottles of water. While no guest will ever go without water on one of tours we are encouraging guests to either bring a bottle with them or to purchase one of our metal Knight Inlet Lodge bottles. 100% of the funds raised by the sale of these bottles will go towards our "stop the hunt" campaign. The goal of this campaign is to bring about an end to the hunting of grizzly bears in British Columbia .

March 2009: Floodwaters Breathe Life into South Australia's Dry Lake Eyre
The world's largest salt lake, Lake Eyre in South Australia is once again bursting into life as Queensland floodwaters flow along normally dormant creeks and rivers to reach Australia's lowest point, 15 metres below sea level.
Located 700 kms from Adelaide, Lake Eyre, which has only filled to the brim three times in the last 160 years, last saw water in 2000 when it became half full.
Yellow-bellied fish and fingerlings have started to appear providing birds with a feast. Plants are springing up around the water's edge and should Lake Eyre become 80% full it is likely that 85 different species of birds will descend on the area making this one of the most spectacular places to visit in Australia in the next couple of months.
Visit the lake and stay at either Prairie Hotel or Wilpena Pound Resort
