Not knowing what to expect at all upon opening this book, I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the depth of thought behind it. It brings to life one of the great wonders of the Australian outback and will surely leave a marked impression on readers of any age.

What a significant and momentous occasion the rains are in this important place. To be blessed with such a sense of the place, on paper, is superb.

Stunning in every way, this book is breathtaking in its beauty and highlights Lake Eyre before and after the rains. Text and illustrations are perfectly blended. A visual feast, this book is a collector’s delight.

*Creative Kids Tales*

The combination of text and illustration give a glimpse of one of Australia’s most amazing natural events – the appearance and disappearance of Lake Eyre – and this book is sure to be enjoyed by both children and adults.
*Kids' Book Review*

Highly recommended. Small hints are given of man's footprint on the land, a farmhouse and train line, a windmill and train, but the overwhelming theme is of the natural world in all of its glory, reviving with the intermittent rains, bringing the once dry lake back to life, only to have it all gone with months, if not weeks. The sheer amazement at this occurrence in the north of South Australia is given full reign in this book, and it will appeal to anyone opening its pages.
*Read Plus*

An inspiring and engaging information book for any public library and primary school.
*Magpies Magazine*
