Come and experience the stark wildness and timeless landscape of Australia's largest salt lake at Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre National Park.
Covering an area 144 kilometres long and 77 kilometres wide, Kati Thanda is an extensive salt sink which derives its mineralisation from the evaporation of floodwaters over thousands of years. Water from its three-state catchment area covers the lake about once every eight years. The lake has only filled to capacity three times in the last 150 years.
Seasonal rainfalls attract waterbirds such as Australian pelicans, silver gulls, red-necked avocets, banded stilts and gull-billed terns. When the lake floods it becomes a breeding site for enormous numbers of waterbirds, especially species that appear to be tolerant of salinity.
The best way to see Kati Thanda- Lake Eyre and take in its vastness is from the air. Scheduled scenic flights provide spectacular views across the park and showcase the seasonal wildlife.
Lake Eyre National Park has been formally known as Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre National Park since November 2013. Refer to website for information regarding fees and facilities.
