Lake Eyre Basin

About the Lake Eyre Basin

The information and image on this page was sourced from the official Lake Eyre Basin Ministerial Forum website which you can visit for more information, updated and related links.

The Lake Eyre Basin covers about 1.2 million square kilometres, almost one-sixth of Australia, and is among the world’s largest internally draining river systems. Lake Eyre itself is the fifth largest terminal lake in the world.

The Basin includes large parts of South Australia, the Northern Territory, Queensland and some of western New South Wales. About 57,000 people live and work in the Basin. The Basin supports a range of nationally important natural, social and economic values.
