Well if you want to have lake Eyre 'qualify' for the tag
'intermittent'
<br>
.....
<br>
But if you want to see Lake Eyre full .. 'typically' that is
once every 10 years or so...

Warin, I think you will find that Lake Eyre has only 'Filled'
three times since (white man's) records have been kept, 150 years
? Its a very big place, when water flows in on those ten year
cycles, it just gets a bit damp in one small corner, you could not
say thats the defining cycle for the whole lake.

'Full' ... <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.lakeeyrebasin.gov.au/about-basin/water">http://www.lakeeyrebasin.gov.au/about-basin/water</a> States
the 'typical' inflows ... <br>
<br>
And the yacht club has a graph of the water depth from 1975 ...

Does 'intermittent' still apply to a 50 or 100 year cycle ?</blockquote>
<br>
I would say YES! <br>
<br>
I think the OSM wiki is wrong in putting the word "seasonal" as a
qualifier to the tag intermittent!<br>
Seasonal things should be tagged with the tag seasonal!<br>
In fact I'll be brave and remove the word! It was looks to be added
by <span class="history-user"><a
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Chrabros"
title="User:Chrabros" class="mw-userlink">Chrabros</a> in April
2014..<br>
So I have removed the word seasonal from the meaning of
intermittent and added a 'common mistakes' section for seasonal
things... <br>
And added my comments to its discussion page. <br>

Honestly, the natural state of Lake Eyre is dry. And thats how we
like it !

Naturally! With the occasional damp bit, and then the rarer wet bit.
