Ah, the pink lakes of South Australia—nature's own surreal Instagram filter! These lakes get their rosy hue thanks to the presence of a specific algae called Dunaliella salina, which produces a red pigment to absorb sunlight. Notable spots include Lake Eyre and Lake Hart, where the salt concentration is so high that these microorganisms thrive, turning the water into a stunning pink spectacle.
Visiting these lakes can be a bit of a trek, but it's worth it for the otherworldly views and photo ops. Just remember, the colour intensity varies with the season, water levels, and sunlight, so don't expect a constant cotton-candy pink lake.
