Finally: the pink lake of a girl's heart
In short, to interpret Perth this semicircle, just break Perth city, unlock the north, southeast line, it is enough. But if you still have free time on vacation, go further and take a look at Western Australia's "internet celebrity" pink salt lake: Hutt lagoon (Hutt Lagoon).
Hutt lagoon (photo source network)
There are three pink lakes in Australia: Lake Hert lagoon, (Hutt Lagoon), Lake Hillier, (Lake Hillier), Pink Lake.. The Hutt lagoon, the inlet of the Hutt River, is the largest pink lake in Australia, just north of Perth. And the Hutt lagoon has been identified by the International Bird Union as one of the world's most important bird sanctuaries, with the world's rare black-headed plover and stilts.
It takes about six hours to drive from Perth to Hutt lagoon, so if you schedule a day round trip, you'll be more likely to stay one night in the small town of Gregory, near the lagoon. There is also a special way to turn Hert lagoon: a helicopter overlooks the whole lake with God's vision, overlooking the blue sea in the sky and appreciating the gentle surface of the lake. The visual feeling is unique.
TIPS: has plenty of pink lake travel products that include accommodations, transportation, and tourist machines, which are more affordable than local travel agencies. And in terms of the richness of the itinerary and the reasonableness of the arrangement, you can completely arrange the spikes of the North Line on your way to Pink Lake, so that you can save the cost of travelling from Perth alone to the spikes. So book online related pink lake products, you must pay special attention.
Do you dare say Perth is "lonely" after reading all this talk about it? In my opinion, Perth, surrounded by so many wonders of the world, is simply a place of happiness! No wonder it has become one of the world's most habitable cities. So, would you like to go to "lonely" Perth, happy?
