#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 redhttps://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/gallery/2025/jul/27/australia-kati-thanda-lake-eyre

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.

In today's video we take a look at the spectacular filling of Lake Eyre over the last month. It's taken months for water to move down from Queensland forming a surge of floods that even changed the weather in central #Australia. #LakeEyre #YouStormOutlook

“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..."”
