Aerial view of flooded Birdsville Track, Australia
Aerial view over the flooded iconic Birdsville Track at ephemeral Lake Killamperpunna on Cooper Creek in outback South Australia. This lake fills from Cooper Creek only when good rainfall in the upper catchment is able to travel all the way down through the desert to the Lake Eyre system. A large number of eucalyptus trees are inundated by the flooding. The track is covered to a depth of approximately 1 metre. A long detour, including a ferry crossing of the creek, must be established around the lake whenever this flooding occurs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial print showcases the breathtaking beauty of the flooded Birdsville Track in outback South Australia. The iconic track, known for its rugged terrain and remote location, is transformed into a mesmerizing waterway as ephemeral Lake Killamperpunna overflows with water from Cooper Creek. The image captures the vastness of the flooding, with eucalyptus trees standing tall amidst the submerged landscape. The track itself is completely covered by approximately one meter of water, making it impassable for vehicles. As a result, a long detour has been established around the lake, including a ferry crossing of Cooper Creek. What makes this phenomenon even more remarkable is that it only occurs when good rainfall in the upper catchment area allows water to travel through the desert all the way to Lake Eyre system. This rare occurrence adds to the allure and mystique surrounding this natural wonder. From high above, viewers can appreciate nature's power and resilience as it shapes and transforms landscapes. The contrasting colors between land and water create an awe-inspiring sight that reminds us of Australia's diverse and ever-changing environment. Whitworth Images has masterfully captured this stunning moment in time through their aerial photography expertise. This print serves as a testament to both their skillful artistry and our planet's incredible ability to surprise us with its raw beauty.
