Pink Lake - Esperance

|
Pink Lake near Esperance on Western Australia’s far southern coastline is a popular natural attraction.
Just a short drive from town, Pink Lake is a salt plain which, in the right weather conditions, appears pink. The pink colour of the lake is due to the high concentration of salt tolerant algae.
For the best view and excellent photographs, take a walk to Pink Lake lookout. A sunglass lens placed in front of your camera will create a dramatic effect, or even better, use a polarising filter.
Table salt, which is almost 100 per cent pure, is harvested from solar ponds on the eastern end of the lake. You can see huge stockpiles of salt from the lookout.
Esperance is a day’s drive from Perth or you can flight there in two hours.
