Publisher's synopsis
It’s raining up north and soon everything will change for the desert lake.
The dry salt bed of Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre shimmers in the desert heat. But far up north, the rains have come. Water is flooding into empty riverbeds and swirling down towards the lake. Soon everything will change. This is a beautifully written narrative that explores the unique story of one of Australia’s most amazing phenomenon.
