Central Channel Country Birds

Bulloo and Diamantina Rivers

The Channel Country is generally represented as the part of the Lake Eyre Basin where the Diamantina River and other inland rivers draining towards the inland salt water lakes divide into myriads of minor channels that then course over the extensive floodplains as they wander towards the inland 'sea'.

In wet seasons this region becomes home to likely the most diverse array of especially water birds, though others may be found as well, to be found anywhere, as the following list shows.
