Anyway, we agree that Lake Eyre does not fill seasonally, we agree it
does fill intermittently (but maybe disagree on "full", not important).
"seasonal" may be a good qualifier for a lake that depends on the
seasons and responds to the season cycle most times around. But thats
not intermittent IMHO. I don't think "intermittent" and "seasonal" go
well together.

Well if you want to have lake Eyre 'qualify' for the tag 'intermittent'
.....
But if you want to see Lake Eyre full .. 'typically' that is once
every 10 years or so...
So to me a full cycle of Lake Eyre in all its 'seasons' would be
'typically' 10 years.
Warin, I think you will find that Lake Eyre has only 'Filled' three
times since (white man's) records have been kept, 150 years ? Its a
very big place, when water flows in on those ten year cycles, it just
gets a bit damp in one small corner, you could not say thats the
defining cycle for the whole lake.
'Full' ... http://www.lakeeyrebasin.gov.au/about-basin/water States
the 'typical' inflows ...
And the yacht club has a graph of the water depth from 1975 ...

Does 'intermittent' still apply to a 50 or 100 year cycle ?
I would say YES!
I think the OSM wiki is wrong in putting the word "seasonal" as a
qualifier to the tag intermittent!
Seasonal things should be tagged with the tag seasonal!
In fact I'll be brave and remove the word! It was looks to be added
by Chrabros <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Chrabros> in
April 2014..
So I have removed the word seasonal from the meaning of intermittent
and added a 'common mistakes' section for seasonal things...
And added my comments to its discussion page.
Honestly, the natural state of Lake Eyre is dry. And thats how we
like it !
Naturally! With the occasional damp bit, and then the rarer wet bit.
