Lake Callabonna is a dry salt lake with little to no vegetation located the Far North region of South Australia. The 〔 lake is situated approximately southwest of Cameron Corner, the junction of South Australia, Queensland and New South Wales. The lake is an important site for late Pleistocene fossils. It is within the extent of the Strzelecki Desert Lakes Important Bird Area, identified as such by BirdLife International because of its importance for waterbirds when holding water in the aftermath of floods.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.environment.gov.au/cgi-bin/ahdb/search.pl?mode=place_detail;place_id=5908 )〕 ==History==
The first pastoralists in the area were the Ragless brothers in 1881, who moved there from the northern Flinders Ranges, opening a sheep-run. In January 1892 Fred Ragless came across a number of giant skeletons embedded in the dry surface of the lake. An expedition partly funded by Sir Thomas Elder and E. C. Stirling, director of the South Australian Museum, was organised. After several visits, Stirling and A. H. Zietz collected a large number of diprotodon and dromornithidae skeletons. The area was designated a Fossil Reserve in 1901, and access is restricted.
