In our arid outback, Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre (a 9,500km2 endorheic salt lake) fills with floodwater from inland rivers only a few times each century. It’s happening now. We’ll bring you pics as remarkable desert life awakens, feeding migratory birds from thousands of kms away. MD🇦🇺

As floodwaters make their way down Copper Creek & the Diamentina & Georgina rivers, spanning over 1 million kms2, Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre fills. Pelicans arrive, feeding on brine shrimp that hatch from eggs buried in salt pans, sometimes decades ago. MD🇦🇺 📷news.com.au
