Australia's largest lake is Lake Eyre, in northern South Australia. 144 km long and 77 km wide, it covers an area of 1 349 251 hectares or 9 690 square km. However, most of the time it is a dry saltpan or, more correctly, a salt sink. It is located about 700km north of the city of Adelaide, in the dry outback region of South Australia. Its surface elevation is 15 metres below sea level.

Australia's largest permanent natural freshwater lake (which means that much of the time it is Australia's largest lake) is Lake Mackay in Western Australia, which is 3 494 sq km in area.

The deepest natural freshwater lake in Australia is Lake St Clair in Tasmania, with a maximum depth of 200m.
