You no longer have to travel as far as Western Australia to get your dose of pink-hued delight. Melbourne's pink lake is all-natural. A natural phenomenon causes the bright pink colour in the salt lake. It only turns pink when salt levels are higher than usual. A few other ingredients are needed to turn the lake pink: high temperatures, lots of sunlight, and a lack of rainfall. The lake started to turn pink last week, and it's expected to stay pink for a few days.

Please use the toilets in Melbourne Central if you need them as the lake does not have any operational bathrooms.
