Lake Machattie Area : ウィキペディア英語版 | Lake Machattie Area
The Lake Machattie Area is a 909 km2 tract of land comprising Lakes Machattie, Mipia and Koolivoo, with the surrounding Georgina River and Eyre Creek floodplains, in the arid Channel Country of western Queensland, Australia. The area is important as a breeding site for waterbirds. ==Description== The floodplains are seasonally flooded and contain several freshwater lakes which continue to hold water well after the floods have receded. Lakes Mipia and Koolivoo are inundated annually, with Mipia often retaining water until the following flood season, but Koolivoo usually dries up by early summer. Lake Machattie is flooded about once in three years. The three lakes are fresh when filled by floods but become increasingly saline as they dry out. The floodplains are characterised by anastomosing channels and waterholes lined with open coolibah woodland, surrounded by grasslands, forblands, samphire and lignum. Average annual rainfall is 168 mm.〔BirdLife International (2011) Important Bird Areas factsheet: Lake Machattie Area. Downloaded from http://www.birdlife.org on 2011-07-28.〕
