Loch lel is one of the many pink salt lakes that can be found in Australia. These pink lakes are not permanently pink. The pink colour comes from the algae that secrets red and orange pigments. When the water is hypersaline, the lake gets its beautiful pink colour.
Loch lel is in Victoria, north of Dimboola, on the Western Highway. It is easily accessible and is a nice stop for a lunch or rest break. Facilities include toilets and picnic tables, so you can have your lunch with a nice view.
