Lake Eyre, Lake Torrens and the other salt lakes of outback South Australia are all very shallow. They cover a huge land area, but because they are so shallow there is a very high evaporation rate.

They are fed by the rivers that come down from northwest Queensland, in the Gulf country. These rivers occasionally flood as a result of the summer monsoonal rains in the north, but they do not flood every year.
