Fast Wikipaedia facts
Pink Lake is a salt lake in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia.
It lies about 3 kilometres (2 mi) west of Esperance and is bounded to the East by the South Coast Highway.
The lake is not always pink in colour but the distinctive colour of the water when the lake is pink is a result of the green alga Dunaliella salina and the halobacterium Halobacteria cutirubrum. (otherwise known as candy pink icky algae)
Once the lake water reaches a salinity level greater than that of sea water, the temperature is high enough and adequate light conditions are provided, the alga begins to accumulate the red pigment beta carotene. In otherwise, summertime people!

The Pink Lake shown on the picture above is not the one described by Wikipedia.
