Australia’s Inland Sea Plan 🌊

🌊 Did You Know Australia Almost Built an Inland Sea? 🌏

Imagine turning Australia’s vast, dry deserts into a massive inland sea. In the early 1900s, engineers proposed an ambitious plan to flood the Outback by redirecting rivers into the usually dry Lake Eyre, creating a lush, thriving region.

Their vision? Millions of hectares of irrigated land, hydroelectric power, and a booming economy—all fueled by an inland ocean stretching across the heart of the continent.

But dreams this big come with a cost. The project was risky, incredibly expensive, and could’ve triggered major environmental disasters. After years of heated debate, the idea was scrapped—leaving behind one of Australia’s most fascinating “what if” stories.
