25.01.2022 'The biggest flood since 1974' Lake Eyre is half full and still filling! The Diamantina River is high and continuing to rise, the Lake Eyre Creek and Goyder Lagoon (Diamantina Floodplain) is flooded. Nine News Adelaide covered the event with some footage from Captain Jack's recent trip to Lake Eyre with a River Country Adventours group. The inland sea in all its beauty!

11.01.2022 Rare Filling of Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre Modern Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre is a salt-encrusted, mostly dry and barren playa that occupies Australia’s lowest natural poi...nt, which is 15 meters (49 feet) below sea level. But 100,000 years ago, the lake basin was filled with water and 10 times larger than today. Fed by several permanent rivers, the lake was surrounded by a lush, green landscape that hosted giant wombats, kangaroos, marsupial lions, and a menagerie of other animals. Many of these animals, and much of the lake has long since disappeared due to climatic changes. But Australians are now getting a taste of what the lake was once like. Storms dropped unusually abundant rain on northern Queensland early in summer and autumn 2019. Now that water has meandered through a long series of parched channels, watering holes, and lagoons and begun to fill the dried lake. Floodwater first began to flow into the lake in mid-March. When the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on Terra acquired this false-color image on May 15, 2019, the lake was nearly half full. The false-color images were composed from a combination of infrared and visible light (MODIS bands 7-2-1). Water appears dark and light blue; bare ground is brown; and vegetation is bright green. This band combination makes it easier to see where water is present. Water first filled two narrow channels that run north to south; then it begun to pool in the southernmost part of Lake Eyre North. The natural-color images below, acquired by the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8, provide a closer view of muddy water flowing into the lake on May 5, 2019. Forecasters expect Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre to continue filling into June. Water will likely cover about three-quarters of the lake’s surface area toward the end of the month, putting the lake on track to reach its fullest state in more than 40 years. Typically, it fills completely only a few times per century; this most recently happened in 1974 and 1950. Smaller flows of water reach the lake every few years. Between February and May 2019, more than seven Sydney Harbors worth of water have flowed into Lake Eyre, according to Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology. That is pretty fast, given that much of Lake Eyre basin is almost perfectly flat. In the past it has taken up to ten months for water to make the long journey from northern Queensland. Wherever the floodwaters go, they have a transformative effect. Huge flocks of birdsincluding banded stiltcongregate at the water to feed on brine shrimp and lay eggs. Waves of fish, insects, and amphibians that are normally confined to watering holes have proliferated and spread widely. And blankets of green vegetation have emerged in places that were recently barren and brown. https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov//rare-filling-of-kati-th

11.01.2022 Hey guys! I thought you would all like this update - the water has now come up over the banks at some points at the town common! You can still camp there howeve...r you will just have to dodge the water since my roads update a few days ago, the creek has gone from 2.2m to 2.7m. The disbursement rate has gone from 2.5k megalitres per day to 5k megalitres per day at Cullyamurra Waterhole (stats taken from the SA automated water measuring system). It has been amazing to witness something like this! - Sarah See more

04.01.2022 Hey guys! Just an update on the roads for you all. As stated in my last post, everything is open to us except for the causeway, which links to the Cordillo Down...s Road. This has a strong flow of water going over it and is on the rise. The only areas affected with this are: - Coongie Lakes - you won’t be able to access this area until the water at the causeway goes down - Cordillo Downs Wool Shed - you can still access the wool shed via the Arrabury Road. This second lot of water is from Cyclone Trevor and is a rare sight to see so make sure you visit us to get the full experience! - Sarah
