Lake Eyre has a drink.

Lake Eyre a huge salt pan draining about a sixth of Australia, along the northern border of South Australia, started to fill up this week after 5 years of drought. Floods in Queensland last month finally made their way into the Lake, the largest lake in Australia when it is full and the lowest point, 15 metres below sea level.

Since it was discovered in 1839 it has only filled up six times. Highly saline, it attracts a wide variety of wildlife each time the water turns up.
