A map of the Lake Eyre Basin. The Lake Eyre Basin is the largest endorheic basin in Australia and is over 1.14 million square kilometres. [22] The basin lies in the north east of the state of South Australia. Its South Australian territory is predominantly semi-arid to arid land.
The basin underlies 22% of the Australian continent, [3] including most of Queensland, the south-east corner of the Northern Territory, north-eastern South Australia, and northern New South Wales.
