The weather is warming up and the bugs have started crawling, flying, and buzzing around keeping my kids busy on bug hunts. Since I am not sure what bugs you have in your backyard that inspire your kiddo I thought I would play it safe and put a collection together of 16 different bug crafts ...
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 is the lowest point in Australia, at about 15 m below sea level. When it fills with water, it is the largest lake in Australia, being 144 km long and 77 km wide. It is also in the driest part of Australia, getting only about 100 mm of rain each year. It is in the north of South Australia, about 700 km north of Adelaide. The lake was named after the explorer, Edward Eyre, who was the first Europen to see it in 1840. It is the centre of the Lake Eyre National Park.
