KATI THANDA – LAKE EYRE & FLINDERS RANGES
by Trade Travel | 18 Mar 2016
There is a world class tourism magnet that is right in our back yard. The problem is that it only comes to showcase itself at its spectacular best on average every 25 years. Birds such as Pelicans are drawn to a filled lake from southern coastal regions of Australia, and from as far afield as Papua New Guinea. Of course we are talking about Lake Eyre. Recent rains in the “Channel Country” in northern Australia are making their way south and the lake is filling again!
A few facts to wet your appetite:
- Lake Eyre is Australia’s largest salt lake and is located 647Km north east of Adelaide.
- The lake is the lowest point below sea level on the Australian mainland at 15.2m.
