The pink lake, as if God spilled his paint, is a dream destination for many. This natural phenomenon occurs due to the high salinity of the water and the presence of algae, which, under high temperatures, refract light to create a pink hue. It’s usually only visible in summer, and right now, in the Southern Hemisphere, Australia is in the middle of summer. A magical pink lake has appeared at WESTGATE Park, close to the city center of Melbourne.

The pink lake is not far from downtown Melbourne. (Photo/queeniec.c.c, the same below)

Australia has many pink lakes, and WESTGATE Park, just a 10-minute drive from Melbourne’s city center, is accessible by bus from the station even if you don’t have a car.

Besides the pink lake at WESTGATE Park, Australia also has the Green Lake in Kondinin, the Blue Lake in Mount Gambier in South Australia, and the Strawberry Milk Lake on Middle Island off the southern coast.
