Eyre Lake

Kati Thanda–Lake Eyre lies in a vast inland drainage basin and is usually a dry expanse of salt. Its northern end receives the Warburton, Macumba and Kallakoopah waterways, which carry occasional floods from the north. When distant rains send enough water through the Channel Country, the lake can fill and attract great numbers of waterbirds, including pelicans and banded stilts. Much of the lake lies in Arabana country and has deep cultural significance for its Traditional Owners.
