What is the name of the large lake in SOUTH CENTRAL Australia???

Answer 1

Lake Eyre.

The lake, named after the great explorer of Australia John Eyre, has had water in it on only three occasions since its discovery.

The major rivers that feed Lake Eyre are the Georgina, Diamantina, Thomson and Barcoo Rivers, and Cooper Creek, which flow from central and western Queensland into South Australia, as well as the Finke, Todd and Hugh Rivers in Central Australia. These waterways end in Lake Eyre, the world's fifth largest terminal lake.

Normally it consists merely of a layer of salt up to 3m deep. This salt lake provided almost ideal conditions for Donald Campbell's attempt on the world land speed record in 1964. On July 17th in that year he achieved a speed of 690kph in his turbine-driven Bluebird and established a new world record.
