Water that flooded North-West Queensland 2 months ago have now travelled more than 1000kms to Lake Eyre in South Australia.

Outback residents say it’s refreshing flood waters are bringing relief to the drought conditions in the stations and towns.

The Australian Wildlife Conservancy says it has been several years since Lake Eyre last had a flood this big.

The conservancy's Atticus Fleming said waters would encourage endangered species to the area, along with unwanted feral animals.
