> It is the largest internal drainage system in the world, and covers roughly 1.2 million square kilometres,

What about the Caspian drainage system, and the Aral drainage system? I'm no hydrologist, but I'm guessing the former is larger, and the latter is much larger. Sivamo 01:03, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Checked, Caspian and Aral are indeed both larger (though Aral is close at 1.3 million sq. km.) Kmusser 20:02, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lake Hart?

The photo is captioned "Lake Hart", yet there's no explanation in the text of what a lake by that name is doing in the "Lake Eyre Basin" article. 86.132.140.77 03:30, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Remove picture. makes no sense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.23.129.201 (talk) 04:02, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lake Hart does exist in the Lake Eyre Basin. It looks like it is dry and the bed is salty or covered with lots of sediment. This is typical of lakes in the basin and therefore should stay. - Shiftchange (talk) 05:11, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To do

To improve this article towards completion we need to:

  • further describe physiography
  • explain water entitlements issue
  • mention notable cattle stations
  • list aboriginal reserves, major towns and any other significant protected areas within the basin.

Change the part where it says the Lake ayre basin is part of the Great artesian basin, completely different things, idiots, one is ground water one is surface water. Thats why there isnt any citation.- Shiftchange (talk) 22:38, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
