Although Lake Eyre is about 70 percent full at the moment there’s still a big contrast between the water and the vast area of salt that was once the dry lake bed.

Lake Eyre is about 12 feet below sea level at the sourthern end and it’s the largest lake in Australia. To get some idea of its size, the Lake Eyre basin takes up about one-sixth of the continent.

I am hoping no one is getting bored with the pictures of the Lake.

Please keep 'the lake' pictures coming. The sheer size of this area means that I will never get tired of the views. It seems a shame that we can't double click(or something) for larger views. Pictures taken from planes really need to be viewed 'large screen.'Does the blog software have a feature to 'large screen' the image?

I've read so much about the explorers Eyre and Stuart who somehow managed to find their way in this inhospitable country that I am fascinated that it could be so different now. It would be a shame to not see more.
