SculpturesIn 2003, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Perth International Arts Festival the Inside Australia exhibition was commissioned. The artist and Turner Prize winner Antony Gormley installed 51 sculptures over an area of {{convert|10|km2|sqmi|0}} on the bed of the lake.[3] The statues were to be removed at the conclusion of the festival but remain as a tourist exhibition. Banded stiltsThe lake is used as a breeding site for banded stilts following major flood events. The stilts nest in large close-packed colonies on low islands in ephemeral inland salt lakes such as Lake Eyre, Lake Barlee and Lake Ballard. The last recorded nesting on the lake was in 1995 following the aftermath of Cyclone Bobby.[4] The lake, along with the neighbouring Lake Marmion some {{convert|20|km}} to the east, has been identified by BirdLife International as a {{convert|984|km2|adj=on}} Important Bird Area (IBA), because it has supported a high proportion of the known banded stilt mass breeding events.[5] See also{{stack|{{portal|Western Australia}}}}
