The Lake Eyre Enigma
South Australia’s Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre is a beautiful outback enigma. Not only is it one of the world’s largest salt lakes, it is also Australia’s largest inland lake, and the lowest point of Australia. To put that into numbers, Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre covers an area of around 9,500 square kilometres, comprises 400 million tonnes of salt, and sits 15 metres below sea level.
Sitting 647 kilometres north of Adelaide, Lake Eyre is actually two lakes: Lake Eyre North and Lake Eyre South. The lakes are connected by the 15-kilometre-long Goyder Channel. The salt content here is extreme – approximately ten times that of standard sea water and double the density of the Dead Sea. None of these numbers alone, though, are the reason Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre captures the imagination.
