Queensland floodwaters finally reached the top of Lake Eyre North yesterday. 

The flood waters have taken over a month to flow down through the channel country of Queensland (the Diamantina and Georgina Rivers) past Birdsville, Kalamurina Station, Goyders Lagoon, the Warburton Creek and now through the Warburton Groove into Lake Eyre North. Lake Eyre, Australia's largest inland lake, is situated in north east South Australia and is the lowest point in Australia. It rarely has water flowing into it. The lake has had complete fills only three times in the past 160 years with the last significant fill being back in 1974. Partial fills occurring every five to ten years. Water bird and fish life abound at Lake Eyre when significant volumes of water arrive.
