Pack your bags … Lake Eyre in South Australia’s Outback has water –Carolyne Jasinski

Graeme Kemlo — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 07:30:45 +0000

When Lake Eyre in Outback South Australia sees a trickle of water, the news makes headlines all over the country. Heavy rain from northern Australia sometimes seeps far enough south, taking three months or so to make its way underground via the Artesian Basin. It’s a rare occurrence but when that water flows all the way to Warburton Creek and into the salt pans of Lake Eyre, the Outback comes to life. Fish return, plants regenerate and birds flock back to the region along with a band of adventurous tourists close behind. So you can imagine what happens when the lake fills … and almost overflows.It has only happened four times in the past 160 years … and it’s happening right now. Carolyne Jasinski was lucky enough to get a bird’s eye view of the flood waters on a flight over the lake from the isolated – but now very busy town of William Creek. She talks to Trevor Wright – the town’s mayor and owner of Wrights Air.
