In 1974 Lake Eyre was 6 m (20 ft) deep. Local rain filled Lake Eyre to 3.5 m (11 ft) in 1984 and 1989. Very heavy rain in January 2007 took about six weeks to reach the lake but put only a small amount of water into it.
Lake Eyre, whose lowest parts lie 15.2 m below sea level, consists of two sections: Lake Eyre North and Lake Eyre South, joined by the narrow Goyder Channel. Lake Eyre North was a permanent saline lake from 5000 to 10 000 years ago and entered a playa phase between 5000 and 3000 years ago.
