Lake Eyre does not fill often - perhaps less than once every ten years - but when it does, it is as a result of floodwaters in Western Queensland. The monsoon season begins in the far north of Australia around October, and some years, if coupled with a cyclone or two, this can lead to flooding of the Channel country of northwestern Queensland. These rivers empty into Lake Eyre, which is why so much water can end up there.
