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.

Does 'intermittent' still apply to a 50 or 100 year cycle ? Honestly, 
the natural state of Lake Eyre is dry. And thats how we like it !
