11. Late Winter Revival
The pink lakes of Australia start their annual cycle of rebirth as winter’s fade in late August and early September. The change back to the vivid hues of spring and summer starts during this season. Rising daylight and progressively warmer temperatures set off fresh development in the algae causing the pink hue of the lakes. Visitors at this time can see the lakes’ subtle but consistent change as glimpses of pink start to show once more. With every day bringing minute changes in colour and intensity, the late winter resurgence is a period of expectation and transformation. This time of year presents a special chance to see the lake’s ecology returning to life following the winter. Early-bloming wildflowers provide dashes of colour to the surroundings, which also start to exhibit hints of the approaching spring. This is an interesting period to investigate the environmental elements influencing the special qualities of the pink lakes for individuals fascinated in their scientific aspects.
