    There is occasionally a plan put forward to flood the inland, much of which is near sea level. You would just need to pump seawater a few km from the Gulf of St Vincent into the low lying and largely useless land north of Port Augusta.

    The evaporation of the inland water would increase the rainfall on the eastern seaboard.

      iirc the idea is to build a cannal but no cannal ever built could ever replace the water fast enough or provide the circulation neccesary to stop the whole thing ending up as another dead sea.
