Three Minute speaker - Glenn Milliken.
Glenn has recently returned from an outback trip in South Australia, visiting Marree and taking the opportunity of a sightseeing flight over Kati Thanda—Lake Eyre, Australia’s largest Salt Lake, 15.2 metres below sea level and its lowest point. Floodwaters from the north are flowing into the lake, with the Diamantina River, Cooper Creek and Georgina Rivers feeding into the lake. It’s a wonderful sight to see water flowing in, and particularly the prolific bird life that is attracted to it. Glenn also flew over the Marree Man, a modern geoglyph discovered in 1998, depicting an aboriginal hunting man, approximately 4 kilometres long and a circumference of 28 kilometres. Lots of theories as to its creation are still circulating. Glenn highly recommends a visit to the old bakery at Farina, an abandoned railway town south of Maree
