	Lake Eyre
		Lake Eyre lies on the southwestern corner of the great artesian basin, a closed inland built about 440,150 square miles in area that is drained only by intermitted streams.
		Lake Eyre's size can only be appreciated from the air, so a scenic flight from outside the nearby William Creek Hotel is a must - swooping over camels, and the silver streaks of Um-Bum Creek and the kinaki, War Burton, and Macumba rivers as they slowly pour into a huge waterbird bath.
		Lake Eyre north is 144 km long and 77 km wide and is joined by the narrow goyder channeled to Lake Eyre south which is 64 km long and 24 km wide.

	Lake Eyre basics
		Lake Eyre North was a permanent saline lake from 5000 to 10 000 years ago and entered a playa phase between 5000 and 3000 years ago.
		Lake Eyre North reached its highest recorded level of _9.09 m AHD in June 1974, and the equilibrium level of -9.5 m AHD between both lakes was achieved in October 1974.
		The inflows to Lake Eyre in the period 1885_1984 were reconstructed using a rainfall-runoff model on the short streamflow records available, and then extending modelling for the period in which only rainfall data were available.
