South Eyre Lake

South Lake Eyre is the smaller southern basin of Kati Thanda, linked to the much larger northern lake by the narrow Goyder Channel. Its broad salt bed is usually dry, but local rains can send water down Stuart Creek and the Warriner catchment. The two lake basins lie in an immense inland drainage system from which water escapes chiefly through evaporation. The Arabana people call the lake Kati Thanda.
