Australia’s pink lakes
Australia is known for its white beaches, its green mountains and its otherwise beautiful views. A lesser known attraction in Australia are the pink lakes. Pink lakes aren’t unique to Australia – you can find them in other places around the world, such as Mexico, Canada and Spain. However, the pink lakes in Australia are said to be the most beautiful ones in the world.
The salt lakes get their pink color from a unique combination of water algae and other microbes. While they are perfectly safe from swimming, Lake Hillier, the most famous pink lake in Australia, can’t be reached. You can only look at it from afar. As the years go by, Lake Hillier loses some of its intensity, and the pink hue somewhat fades.
