Thanks Dave. I see you're diddly-plonk in the Clare Valley!
I've only ever seen Lake Bonney with water in it from anywhere around its 22km shoreline, but there are older folk in Barmera who have stories to tell about the droughts over the years, and the "hijacking" of the Murray weirs to divert water to ensure it continues to be a focal point for the town. Probably just as well. There isn't a great deal to enthuse a lengthy stay in Barmera, and Lake Bonney is pretty much whatever you can make of it in terms of fun and relaxation. And photography!
