  1. #KatiThanda #LakeEyre is Australia’s largest ephemeral endorheic #saltlake and the continent’s low­est point, at 15.2 metres below sea lev­el. At 9,000 sq km, it is estimated to be 1% of the continent’s landmass. Floods in tropical north
    pressure the Cooper Creek system and the Georgina-Diamantina River & underground water, sand and silt rises to the surface. water on salt pans stagnates, algae blooms create various colours from green to red

  3. Once a ghost town in the South Australian outback, Farina is being revived by volunteers from across the country. And true to tradition, the heart of it all is a bakery — hidden underground. For just 8 weeks a year, travellers flock here for fresh bread, pasties, and pies.

    “KEY POINTS:
    • A climate model is used to test the hypothesis that creating a large lake in central Australia would increase rainfall
    • Locally, surface cooling effects of the lake suppress the formation of precipitation
    • Regionally, moisture from the lake is exported to other areas but the amount is small compared to natural variability in Australian rainfall..."”
