Water rejuvenates life on Kalamurina Station

One of Australia's least known but most important rivers has recently broken its banks, flooding desperately thirsty ecosystems on Kalamurina Wildlife Sanctuary. Heavy rain in the upper parts of Lake Eyre Basin earlier this year has been slowly making its way along a network creeks and rivers over 7,500 km long. Running right through Kalamurina, the Warburton River is the final conduit of most of this water. The river enters Lake Eyre itself along a massive trench – The Warburton Groove – and it has been only in the last week that the water has flowed out of the Groove and is now filling Lake Eyre itself.

While it remains to be seen just how full Lake Eyre gets, some locals are saying this is the most significant flow of water they have seen in over 40 years.   See more details of AWC sanctuaries here
