Air date: Nov 01, 2023

In May 2018, floodwaters from northwest Queensland travelled more than 1000km south, meandering down the Diamantina River System, filling Goyder Lagoon, and bringing new life to the desert river systems of Central Australia. After 2 months of travel, the floodwaters emerged at the intersection of 3 deserts, making their dramatic entrance to the ancient riverbeds of our Kalamurina Wildlife Sanctuary (SA). They surged steadily towards the shores of Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre - Australia’s largest lake.
