The Story of Kati Thanda - Lake Eyre

The dry salt bed of Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre shimmers in the desert heat. But far up north, the rains have come. Water is flooding into empty riverbeds and swirling down towards the lake. Soon everything will change, the colours, the textures and it is without a doubt a place you need to see.

A full-colour photo book that documents Lake Eyre, its landscape and the stories of one of Australia’s best kept photographic secrets.

At the heart of Australia, surrounded by desert, Lake Eyre, the country's biggest lake, seldom sees water. Most of the time it is a vast salt pan, eerily empty, devoid of all life. But when the rains come and the great rivers flow down to its basin, an astonishing transformation takes place: the landscape fills with colour, with bird and animal life and with the crowds who have come to witness nature's grandest performance.

Dani Watson, an award winning photographer has spent more than 50 hours navitagating Lake Eyre. Her photographs have been published in publications around the world, and won photographic awards both in Australia and Internationally.
