Lake Eyre

nar not drinking I would of seen more of this great land than most people including some very remote places

and can run into Lake Eyre South from North and vice versa.

Irrespective of whether inflows to the south basin fill up the north basin or the north basin fills up the south basin - depending on where the inflows originate from - Lake Eyre is a terminal wetland

Ya learn something every day. "Terminal Wetland" Noice. Thanks Daryl N.

Only 4 weeks til I get there so I will ask the guy at the yatch club!

A quick glance at my maps show the whole area to be very lowwith inflows into it from all directions. I guess maybe if it really filled it could drain into spencer gulf

- but we would be gathering the animals 2 by 2 well before then


Lake Bonnderoo in WA is another terminal wetland being fed from the lakes sth of leonora via Ponton creek


it has filled twice this century

the first time was in the mid 70s and the second time was the mid 90s


maps prior to this showed it as barely a small unnamed salt pan but when full it creates a large inland freshwater lake
