  • ""Lake Eyre - Australia's Outback Wonder" is a stunning documentary capturing a once in a generation event - the flooding of Lake Eyre and the dramatic transformation of the dead heart of Australia. ABC News mounted two filming expeditions by helicopter to follow the floodwaters from north Queensland down the great outback rivers to Lake Eyre and record the amazing cycle of life, as the deserts bloomed and birds descended from far and wide to capitalise on the short lived boom. Seldom has there been such an extensive coverage of one of nature's greatest displays, with water running between the sand dunes of the Simpson Desert; huge bird breeding events; an astonishing show of wildflowers and the surreal images of Lake Eyre as water streams to the lowest point in the continent. A story told through the eyes of one of Australia's leading environmental scientists, Professor Richard Kingsford and the people who've made their lives in the arid Lake Eyre Basin."

  • ""Veteran ABC presenter Paul Lockyer was on his fourth trip to Lake Eyre when he was killed last year in a helicopter crash along with cameraman John Bean and pilot Gary Ticehurst. This posthumously edited 90-minute retrospective of their work owes its elegiac mood not to the human tragedy but to the exquisite footage and measured narrative charting the many moods of the inland sea. Pulling together the best footage from two documentaries previously screened on the ABC (2009's Australia's Outback Wonder and the 2011 production Return to Lake Eyre), this is a fine nature documentary, with aerial footage capturing the rare flooding of the parched salt pan and dispassionate observations of the cruel boom-and-bust cycle of native wildlife and its symbiotic relationship with capricious weather patterns." -- Website."

  • "Looks at Lake Eyre, Australia's biggest lake, which seldom sees water as it is framed by desert. Mostly it is a vast salt pan, devoid of all life; but when the rains come and the great rivers flow down to its basin, an astonishing transformation takes place and the landscape fills with bird and animal life."@en
