Each year in early November, the arrival of summer in South Australia will turn the blue lake's originally gray-blue water into a brilliant cobalt blue almost overnight, and then a distinctive dark blue after the end of March. In addition, the cave garden is also a very worthwhile place to visit, a cave made of limestone dissolved and weathered, and the top of the cave finally collapses because of erosion, which provides the perfect conditions for the sunken garden. Looking up at the bottom of the garden was a different sight.
