South Australia has another of large inland lakes. Our inland is a paradise of lakes and water if viewed on a map.

Dry salt lakes, of course.

I have seen Lake Eyre full of water once, but it was not a date history records it as being filled, 1983 (?). At least the bottom leg of the lake was filled.

Mike,

The early explorers looked for the "inland sea", which they believed existed. They were probably only a million years too late to find it.

Some of the these lakes are below sea level.

Also land speed records were once achieved or attempted on the salt lakes back in the 1950's or 60's.
