All About

Lake Magic

Highlights

Lake Magic is a must-see Aussie Bucket List attraction when visiting Western Australia's Golden Outback town of Hyden. The lake is situated about 1.5km to the north of the better known, Wave Rock. The water in the lake is clear but salty and the lake base is made of gypsum and is surrounded by beach sand around the perimeter.

Lake magic is known for the water changing colours from green to pink. Wake early to experience the lake at sunrise and marvel over the colour changes as the sun comes up over the horizon.

The colour of the water varies significantly according to the weather and time of the year. From other reviews we have read, be prepared with fly and mozzy spray when visiting this outback town.
