Attractions
Hutt Lagoon, Yallabatharra WA, Australia
Hutt Lagoon
Known for being all shades of pink and purple, Hutt Lagoon is a short drive from us here at the park and certainly won’t disappoint in terms of views. Hutt Lagoon is also known as The Pink Lake and gains its unique colouring from carotenoid-producing algae, which is a source of B-carotene, a food-colouring agent and source of vitamin A.
Hutt Lagoon is constantly changing in vibrancy depending on the time of day, month and cloud coverage – so every time you see it, it will be slightly different! It’s best to visit the Pink Lake in the morning or at sunset.
This is definitely a must-see when you are in the Midwest.
