Answer : LAKE EYRE
Lake Eyre, also called Kati Thanda–Lake Eyre is a great salt lake in central South Australia, with a total area of 4,281 square miles (11,088 square km). It lies in the southwestern corner of the Great Artesian Basin, a closed inland basin about 440,150 square miles (1,140,000 square km) in area that is drained only by intermittent streams. Normally dry but susceptible to occasional flooding, the lake constitutes the lowest point on the Australian continent. Lake Eyre was first sighted by a European in 1840—English explorer and British colonial official Edward John Eyre, after whom it was named.
Lake Eyre, the lowest part of which lies about 50 feet (15 m) below sea level, consists of two sections, Lake Eyre North and Lake Eyre South. The sections, which together span an area 89.5 miles (144 km) long and 47.8 miles (77 km) wide, are joined by the narrow Goyder Channel.
Lake Eyre is normally dry; it fills completely only an average of twice in a century, but partial, minor fillings happen much more often. When completely filled (as in 1950, 1974, and 1984), the lake takes about two years to dry up again. Lake Eyre is in a region of very low and intermittent rainfall amounting to less than 5 inches (125 mm) annually. The lake is fed by a vast internal continental drainage basin, but evaporation rates in the region are so high that most of the rivers in the basin dry up before reaching the lake. Thus, the waters of the Diamantina and other rivers can feed the lake only when they are in flood after heavy rains.
The thin salt crust of Lake Eyre thickens in the lake’s southern portions, where it is as much as 18 inches (46 cm) thick. The extremely level surface of the salt crust has been used in attempts to break world land-speed records, notably in 1964, when Donald Campbell drove at a speed of more than 400 miles (644 km) per hour in Bluebird II.
