Default Lake Eyre gets a trickle

The Diamantina River system has finally put some water into Lake Eyre North,
the bird life has gone wild by all accounts. The Cooper Creek system is
still not expected to reach the Lake.

ABC Radio National has a description from a young woman describing watching
a dry Diamantina river bed turning into a flowing river.

Thursday edition when it becomes available on the net.

Hey Hey - Your right, the Cooper has a long way to get to the lake,
however sat imagery shows the warburton groove swollen and water
starting to cover the lake surface. The current cyclone activity off
QLD may be promising. Of interest is the question - How full? I have
seen the record floodings of 72, 89 and 90/91. I've also seen partial
floodings and I have seen the lake dry. I love it in all conditions.
Go to http://www.diamantina-tour.com.au to see more about wild parts
of the lake
Cheers
Andrew
