Geography

Diamantina Lakes is part of the Channel Country which is an arid landscape with a series of ancient flood plains from rivers which only flow intermittently. When there is water in it, the Diamantina River flows from north to south through the locality eventually destined for Lake Eyre in South Australia.[3] However, the water usually is absorbed into the earth or evaporates before reaching Lake Eyre.
