Lake Eyre, Australia's answer to an inland sea.
Sadly, most of the time it has no water.
INLAND SEA
The explorers' dream?
The search for a great 'inland sea' has been often cited as the holy grail inspiring the great Australian explorers in the nineteenth century.
Yet when writing his 2009 book The water dreamers: the remarkable history of our dry continent, author
Michael Cathcart found little substance to the notion that explorers searched for the inland sea. Perceived history was just plain wrong.
Perhaps the myth was inspired by tales of Sir Walter Raleigh's 1595 search for the lost city of gold, El Dorado, thought to be on the banks of the mythical Lake Parima in South America.
Early explorers had enough trouble finding large freshwater rivers. Flinders missed the Clarence, Richmond, Tweed, Nerang, Albert and Brisbane Rivers. Oxley only found the Brisbane River with the help of Aboriginal people.
When Sturt's expedition found the Darling River in 1829 they jumped for joy into the water and started gulping it down only to find it was salty. There was a salty spring nearby.
At 9500 square kilometres Lake Eyre, shown above, is the largest lake in Australia and sixth largest in the world. It fills up about three times a century when it teems with life. The
rest of the time it's a salt pan.
The grave of James Poole. He was the only explorer known to have died in search of the mythical inland sea.
