Hiller lake(pink lake), Western Australia
The contrast between the bright pink of the lake, the intense green of the plants and the shiny blue of the water makes the colors of this landscape worthy. Lake Hillier is a pink-coloured lake on Middle Island.
Pink Lake is a salt lake in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia.From above the lake appears a solid bubble gum pink. The lake is about 600 meters long, and is surrounded by a rim of sand and dense woodland of paperbark and eucalyptus trees. A narrow strip of sand dunes covered by vegetation separates it from the blue Southern Ocean. No-one fully knows why the lake is pink. Scientists speculate that the colour comes from a dye created by bacteria that lives in the salt crusts.
