We thought we’d start a new weekly series – Weekends Away in WA. We’ll be showcasing amazing places all over WA, encouraging you to check out the beauty of our own backyard… take that road trip, book that flight, and support and enjoy our amazing home and beyond! First up: #PortGregory's #HuttLagoon it’s vivid pink hues situated on @australiascoralcoast 💕💗 You’ll see vibrant pinks and some days can be silvery, red or purple as it changes with the seasons and time of day. So, take a road trip up the coast to experience the 70 square km lagoon, but for the best view we recommend getting the drone out… or even better, a scenic flight for a truly unique experience with the Indian Ocean creating a striking contrast with the pink lake. ✈️💓 📷 @mkz.imagery

Slano jezero Hat Laguna nalazi se u zapadnoj Australiji i dugačko je oko 14, a široko 2 km. Ovo jezero je velika turistička atrakcija zbog „neprirodne“ boje. Ipak, za roze boju jezera postoji jednostavno objašnjenje.

The crazy pink Hutt Lagoon

Jezero je bogato visokom koncentracijom algi i bakterija koje proizvode crveni pigment. Zbog njih boja vode postaje ružičasta, a menja se u zavisnosti od intenziteta sunčevih zraka.

Tlo jezera je veoma neugodno za koračanje jer je oštro i sastavljeno od gigantskih kristala soli.

Hat Laguna nije jedino jezero koje ima ovu specifičnost. Jezero Hilijer, takođe u Australiji, jezero Masazirgol u Azerbedžanu, Salina de Torevieha u Španiji i jezero Ratba ili Lac Rose u Senegalu su takođe „obojena jezera“.
