Lake MacDonnell
Highlights
Lake MacDonnell in South Australia is one of the coolest natural wonders in Australia. This salt lake is famous for its bright pink colour, caused by special algae and bacteria that love the salty water. On one side of the causeway, you’ll see the Pink Lake, and on the other side, there’s a Green Lake and a Blue Lake, making it a truly magical place to visit!
It’s an awesome spot for taking photos and learning how nature works its magic to create such colourful lakes. Make sure to bring your camera for some epic pictures of this beautiful natural phenomenon!
