Following on from our wonderful trip to Longreach at the end of last year, we want to let you know about a new resource that is available to help people to learn more about the Lake Eyre Basin. This colourful poster map is surrounded by more than 40 photos and diagrams, with detailed captions and loads of information about rivers and wetlands, plants and animals, climate, terrain, towns, homestead names, Aboriginal lands, parks and reserves, land uses, and the management of natural resources in the Lake Eyre Basin. The retail price $40.00 inc GST ($25.00 for Basin residents) plus postage and packaging. Contact Desert Channels Queensland on (07) 4658 0600 for your copy. Siwan
