Kati Thanda–Lake Eyre

Kati Thanda–Lake Eyre is Australia’s largest saltwater lake, located in the arid interior. It is usually dry but fills with water during rare floods, creating a vast, shallow lake. When full, it becomes a striking, expansive body of water, attracting birds and wildlife. The lake's surface is covered with salt and minerals, giving it a distinctive appearance. It is a significant natural feature with cultural importance to Indigenous peoples and plays a key role in Australia's ecological and hydrological systems. Its size and condition vary dramatically depending on rainfall, making it a dynamic and unique landscape.
