Australia's Inland Sea/Lake

Many people remember Australia as having a large, permanent, central inland sea or a significant lake system, which contradicts its actual arid interior.

What People Remember

People recall a prominent, always-present large body of water in the central desert regions of Australia.

What's Actually True

While Australia has Lake Eyre, it is an ephemeral salt lake that is usually dry and only fills completely during periods of exceptional rainfall, not a permanent inland sea.
