The Lake Hillier is located on Middle Island, off the coast of Western Australia. As well as The Lake Hillier it is called The Pink Lake. It is quite small, its length is 600 meters and width is no more than 250 meters. It is surrounded by eucalyptus and paperback trees and the ocean on its northern part.
No one fully knows why the lake is pink. Some Scientists speculate that the colour comes from a dye created by bacteria that lives in the salt crusts.
The Hillier Lake was first discovered in 1802 by navigator and cartographer Matthew Flinders.
