Inside Australia’s $200B Plan to Flood the Outback and Change the Continent
Australia is once again debating one of the most ambitious megaprojects in its history: a $200 billion plan to redirect tropical rivers and permanently flood the Lake Eyre Basin, creating an inland sea larger than some nations. This video breaks down the full story behind the project — from the basin’s ancient origins as part of the Eromanga Sea to Dr. John Bradfield’s 1930s vision of canals, tunnels, and climate-altering water systems. We examine why early calculations failed, how modern engineering revived the idea, and why CSIRO’s 2021 assessment delivered a devastating blow to its feasibility. With evaporation rates, river shortages, skyrocketing costs, and saltwater risks, the project remains one of the most debated proposals in Australia’s history. Is it visionary nation-building or a climate gamble? This deep dive explains every angle.
