Magnificently stark as Lake Eyre generally is, its banks and surrounding terrain are a deal more vegetated – and the vegetation is more diverse – than most newcomers expect.
Some of the plants are wonderfully weird; necessarily, all are hardy, and adapted to one of the world’s more “demanding” environments.

However, most (of the relatively few, still) people who have reached the pictured lake do find it decidedly “unearthly”
Moving from “landscape view” to “closer view” is highly likely to alter a first-time visitor’s initial impression/estimation of Kati-Thanda-Lake Eyre, but most visitors continue to feel that they are on “another planet”.

Is there a Great “Martesian” Basin, from which water “escapes” in certain places, forming petite “oases” on the planet’s otherwise “desolate” surface?
This gushing – or seeping – water originally arrived from the sky as rain… many thousands of human generations ago, when the proverbially dry Mars was a very wet place.
As you can see, the new photographic evidence is compelling.
