Flight over Lake Eyre
I had booked this trip over a year ago, so was very lucky to be flying over the salt lake at a time when the water was flowing down into it. In February 2019, there were terrible floods in Queensland. The waters from this gradually moved down into the Lake Eyre region of South Australia.
These show the waters flowing into the lake from the northern area of South Australia.
- Flying towards the lake
- Warburton River which forms the groove going down the western side of the lake
- Water starting to fill the lake
- Water overflowing from the Warburton Groove in the lake
- Edge of the overflow
- The groove starting to overflow
Ah! So that’s your Lake Eyre. Lots different to ‘my’ Lake Erie,
