Lake Numalla

Lake Numalla in 1955.

Lake Numalla is located in the Mulga Lands bioregion of Western Queensland, Australia. The area has a very dry climate, with unpredictable low rainfall (450mm-650mm per year). Lake Numalla is freshwater while nearby Lake Wyara is saline.[1] These provide significant waterbird habitats at times of drought and for migrating waders which travel across inland Australia.[2]200 bird species have been recorded in the park.[3]

The lake is part of Currawinya National Park and is a site listed under the Ramsar Convention.
