Geraldton is the second largest city in Western Australia and a pleasant place to stay for a few days to rest up from the constant travelling. On the way we visit Port Gregory, a tiny coastal village and its famous Pink Lake. The Pink Lake (official name Hutt Lagoon) is a salt lake with a pink hue caused by the presence of a carotenoid producing algae which is a source of beta-carotene, a food colouring agent and source of Vitamin A. The lagoon contains the world’s largest microalgae production plant.











Cool! this was the lake I was telling you about. I had only seen a pic of it.x
Not as pink as the first time we saw it – see Sept 2014
