∙ 15y agoThe main lakes in South Australia are:
Lake Alexandrina
Lake Albert (joined to Lake Alexandrina)
Blue Lake ( Mt Gambier)
Lake Bonney Lakes Blanche, Bumbunga, Cadibarrawirracanna, Frome, Gairdner, Callabonna, Gill, Gregory and Torrens are all dry salt pans that only rarely fill during flooding. Lake Eyre - North and South - is also a saltpan, but due to the fact that it lies amid a network of rivers that drain from the north following the monsoon season, it tends to contain some degree of water more often than the other saltpans.
