Lake Eyre: Australia’s Largest Salt Lake

Lake Eyre, also known as Kati Thanda, is a vast salt lake in South Australia that transforms into a breathtaking natural spectacle during rare flood events. When water fills the lake, it becomes a haven for birdlife, including pelicans, black swans, and waterfowl.

Visitors can explore the lake from the nearby town of Marree or take scenic flights for a bird’s-eye view of the vast expanse. The lake’s shimmering salt flats create an otherworldly landscape that is equally captivating when dry.

The surrounding Outback scenery, including sand dunes and desert wildflowers, adds to the experience. Lake Eyre is a reminder of Australia’s vast and diverse ecosystems, offering a unique perspective on the country’s natural beauty.
