416E The mirror surface of the calm shallow waters of the Pink Lake, at the heart of the Murray Sunset National Park, might have appeared like a mirage on the landscape to thirsty explorers as they trudged across the arid plains of the Australian outback in the early 19th century, but its waters are highly saline. It is algae that thrive in the lake and that often give it a rosy hue that have given it its name.
