Editing Lake Eyre (section)

===2019===

In late March 2019, floodwaters began arriving as a result of torrential rains in [[northern Queensland]] in January. In the past, the water had taken anywhere from three to 10 months to reach the lake, but this time it arrived in two. The first flooding would be closely followed by another surge, following rains produced by [[2018–19 Australian region cyclone season#Severe Tropical Cyclone Trevor|Cyclone Trevor]]. [[Traditional owners]] and graziers agree that it is essential that the river run its course and should not be harvested during floods, as any interference in the natural systems could damage the [[ecosystem]].<ref name=ABCflood>{{cite news|agency=[[ABC News (Australia)|ABC News]]|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-05-09/lake-eyre-is-a-wild-river-system-left-to-run-its-course/11035506|title=Lake Eyre in Central Australia is filling in a way not seen for 45 years|series=''[[7.30]]''|last=Schwartz|first=Dominique|author-link=Dominique Schwartz|date=21 May 2019|orig-date=Originally published 8 May 2019|access-date=28 March 2023}}</ref>
