Fun Fact #5 Pink Lakes
We just happened to drive past this Pink Lake west of Dimboola Vic. before crossing the border into SA. I had to adjust my sunglasses thinking I was seeing things. Our first Pink Lake. Western Australia has a few which have made our list, but this was a total surprise, a quick u-ey (u-turn) with the van to the rest stop and we were soon exploring it.
