Remarkable scenes as iconic landmark floods

Eroding river cliffs in the Lake Eyre Basin are a fascinating but often overlooked feature formed as a result of boom and bust hydrology, which refers to the extreme cycle of sudden flooding (boom) followed by long dry periods (bust). Some of the cliffs even reveal fossil layers or archaeological remains, offering rare insights into the basin's ancient history.
