Anyway, we agree that Lake Eyre does not fill seasonally, we agree
it does fill intermittently (but maybe disagree on "full", not
important). <br>
<br>
"seasonal" may be a good qualifier for a lake that depends on the
seasons and responds to the season cycle most times around. But
thats not intermittent IMHO. I don't think "intermittent" and
"seasonal" go well together.<br>

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... <br>

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. <br>

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 moz-do-not-send="true"
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>

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