Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre

About Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre

Protecting Australia's largest salt lake at 9,000 square kilometres, this remote park lies 697km north of Adelaide and includes the continent's lowest point at 15.2 metres below sea level. The ephemeral lake fills completely only about three times per century, transforming into an inland sea that attracts millions of waterbirds from across Australia and internationally. Managed in partnership with the Arabana and Dieri peoples, the lake holds deep cultural significance. Scenic flights from Coober Pedy or William Creek offer the best viewing opportunities.
