The Pink Lakes

The Pink Lakes are in Murray-Sunset NP near Ouyen in the North West of Victoria.
 The bed of the lakes is solid salt and an red algae gives the lakes its pink colouring.
The intensity of colour varies and is strongest after rains wash in fresh
nutrients, triggering increasing growth of the algae.
