Lake Tyrrell

If you're up for a road trip to see a stunning natural wonder, jump in the car and head to Lake Tyrrell. This hidden gem is the largest inland salt lake in Victoria.

How surreal. This beauty turns pink during some months of the year, too, due to algae in the lake and is definitely not one to miss.
