Lake Hillier
Lake Hillier is a saline lake on the edge of Middle Island, the largest of the islands and islets that make up the Recherche Archipelago in the Goldfields-Esperance region, off the south coast of Western Australia. It is particularly notable for its pink colour. Lake Hillier was first discovered in 1802 by the British Navigator and Cartographer Mathew Flinders aboard the HMS Investigator. In January of the same year, he went ashore and climbed the highest peak on the island which is named after him today.
Some speculate that Lake Hillier's color, like that of the other lakes, is the result of high salinity combined with the presence of a salt-loving algae species known as Dunaliella salina and pink bacteria known as halobacteria.

Mackenzie Falls sits 235km west of Melbourne and is a spectacular site for any visitor. It gives off a rainbow mist when water gushes from the falls to the gorge 30m below and is a natural wonder you should add to your itinerary.
