This water made a slow and torturous journey of nearly 1000 km, filling the Georgina, Diamantina and Warburton rivers and flooding desert towns as it travelled. A second rain system in late March brought more water, extending across vast flood plains and eventually flowing into Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre many weeks after it fell, bringing life, colour and a surge of visitors to this dry country.
