10. Winter Wonderland
From June to August, Australia’s winter turns the pink lakes into a singular marvel. Although the vivid summer pinks may have faded, the lakes acquire a fresh, equally fascinating quality. The cooler temperatures and more rain might lead the lakes to grow, dimming the pink hue but producing fascinating reflections on the surface of the water. The low angle of the sun on clear winter days can produce amazing light effects; occasionally the lakes seem to glow from inside. With delicate ice crystals developing around the edges of the lakes, frosty mornings can lend still another element of beauty. For those who enjoy nature, winter is a great time since many species are more active in the cooler seasons. The winter scenery’s great beauty offers a dramatic contrast to the lakes’ subdued hues. Although visitors at this period should be ready for colder temperatures will be rewarded with a distinctive and sometimes disregarded viewpoint of these natural beauties.
