News that recreational access to #KatiThanda (Lake Eyre) has been cut off is perplexing. When we were there in 2021 the only road in was closed, had been closed for some time, and did not look like opening any time soon; it was not in a fit state to be used and authorities were sick of rescuing idiots. We took a flight instead. So what am I missing?
