Lake Eyre filling

[Carl Clifford <>]

I flew over Lake Eyre on Saturday, it is a magnificent sight at the  
moment, as was all the country from when we crossed over the coast.  
Never seen the inland look so green.
Cheers,

Carl Clifford

For those fascinated with Lake Eyre & the ebb&flow of life there,
the last few days have seen a masive rainfall in SW Queensland:

as good times for Letter-winged Kites should see another
pulse of water into Lake Eyre down the Georgina, Eyre & Diamantina.

The YC Lake Eyre status page

has a nice Modis satellite photo

of a flood from the NW into Lake Eyre a few weeks ago.

If you have more  patience&time than me you can
track the flows yourself via Modis satellite images:
