Lake Tyrrell has a long history, deposited by quicksand from (Tyrrell Creek) in Tyre Creek. Over time, a huge salt lake has been formed with underground saltwater. The salt extracted from the lake can reach 100000 tons a year. Lake Tyrrell is a tourist destination, the lake is extremely pure as a mirror, can reflect the sky, white clouds, so it is also known as Mirror Lake. And Lake Tyrrell is also the best place to watch stars, with the naked eye can see the sky full of stars and Milky way, extremely spectacular. Since Lake Tyrrell is a salt lake, the water level will be compared with the seasonality. July-October is usually the best time to travel, and the amount of water is just right.
