Lake Eyre, South Australia
Following last year’s spectacular sight as floodwaters filled the once dormant Lake Eyre in South Australia ), the remarkable natural phenomenon is occurring for a second consecutive year and should last for another three or four months
At 15 metres below sea level and Australia’s lowest point, Lake Eyre has only filled to the brim three times in the last 150 years.
In 2000 the world’s largest salt lake became half full, a rare wonder which was mirrored last year when floodwaters flowed along the normally dormant creeks and rivers to breathe life into the dry lake once more.
The 2009 Lake Eyre flood peaked at 1.5 metres deep in late May, a quarter of its maximum recorded depth of 6 metres.
Heavy rains in Queensland and New South Wales over Christmas and New Year coupled with good summer rains in the South Australian Outback this year have led to a repeat of the phenomenon.
One result of this extraordinary event is prolific birdlife returning to the vast inland sea.
