Pink Water Lake

It is located on the Middle Island, one of the archipelago of the southern coast of Western Australia. Surrounded by eucalyptus trees, the lake is located in a dense forest. The surrounding area is also reported as a depopulated area.

The island was first discovered in 1820 by a British man, Matthew Flanders, and his team. He saw the lake while climbing a mountain on the island. Today, the lake is named after his friend, Hillier. The reason is that Hillier died during this exploration. Therefore, the lake is named after him in his honor.

The reason for the strange color of this lake was a big puzzle from the beginning. Scientists later discovered that the color of the lake was due to an invisible fungus called DUNELIELLA, which lives in the lake. However, the lake is still being tested by scientists.

The lake is about two thousand feet long. It is about 820 feet wide. Spread over an area of over 37 acres and the lake has a beautiful shape.

Anyone who has heard of this lake for the first time will think that it has a great tourist attraction. But not so. Earlier we said that this lake is still in the experimental stage of scientists. As a result, ordinary tourists are not allowed to enter the lake. But the lake can be seen from the small planes that fly over it. It is also reported that many tourists are eager to see the lake by ai

This lake is very salty. What we all know is that you can float in a saltwater pool. The best example of this is the Dead Sea. Although scientists say that the lake is very salty and suitable for bathing, it is not suitable for salting. Attempts were made in 1889 to build a salt marsh from the lake but later found that the lake was very poisonous.

As mentioned earlier, the lake is located on one of the few islands in Western Australia. So there is a lot of biodiversity around this lake. The area around the lake is now a protected area, with camphor trees and many bird species.
