Pink Lake Lookout

Yallabatharra adventure incoming! 🌈🏞️ Nothing beats the striking hues of Pink Lake—this spot is basically Instagram IRL, and the lookout makes it easy for everyone to get that perfect shot. If you’re chasing Australia’s most extra landscapes, this is 100% it. Top Spot to Visit: - Pink Lake Lookout (Port Gregory Rd, Gregory WA 6535, Australia): You won’t reget swinging by in the late morning or midday, that’s when the lake color pops the hardest! Parking at the lookout is straightforward, but it does get busy on weekends, so midweek is pro mode for a quieter vibe. Pro Tip: Bring polarized sunglasses—the pink looks even wilder through the lenses, and they cut some of the midday glare. The area is pretty exposed, so a wide-brim hat and serious sunscreen are musts (trust me, this sun *does not* mess around). Local Tips: Getting Around: Renting a car is essential for the Pink Lake Lookout and exploring anything nearby. There’s little public transport out here! Fill up with fuel before you set out—stations are sparse. Food: Pack snacks and drinks, as there aren’t many shops or cafes at the lookout itself. Nearby Port Gregory has basic options if you’re desperate for a bite, but it’s snack-life most of the time. Weather: Summer is scorchy, so opt for early mornings and evenings if you’re not a heat fan. Shoulder seasons (spring/autumn) are gold for cool temps and smaller crowds. No matter when you roll through, Pink Lake is wild, weird, and totally worth the drive. #PinkLakeWA #AustraliaRoadTrip #ScenicSpots #TravelTips #NatureLovers

Leisure Itinerary 📅 Itinerary Day 1: Depart from Perth and have lunch at the Lobster Factory. Then, head to Pinnacles and check into your hotel in Geraldton. You can eat out or buy something to cook back home. The IGA supermarket closes at 8:30 PM. Day 2: Depart for the Pink Lake, Kalbarri's Glass Bridge, and Window of the World. Take your time and take photos. Return to Geraldton for your nighttime stay. Enjoy stargazing. Day 3: After breakfast, stroll through Geraldton and check in. Then, go sandboarding in Lancelin, which closes at 4:30 PM. Lunch: Grab a McMuffin in Geraldton or buy bread in a nearby town! After sandboarding, grab a bite in Lancelin (there's a good handmade plaza there) and return to Perth! Remember: Avoid driving in the suburbs at dusk or at night. You can easily run into adorable kangaroos. Kangaroos in Western Australia are incredibly strong and can cause your car to stall or cause an accident. Try to avoid this! Also, remember to download offline maps, as everyone will be so focused that your phone will have no signal! 🏨 Accommodation Recommendation: The Mantra Hotel in Geraldton. I stayed in a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit with free parking, right by the marina. 🍴 Food Recommendation: After sandboarding, try Mama Mia Pizza & Cafe Express, then head back to Perth for some Vietnamese pho in Moni. 📌 Practical Tip: Avoid driving in the suburbs at dusk or at night, as it's easy to run into adorable kangaroos. Western Australia's kangaroos are incredibly strong and can stall your car or cause an accident! Try to avoid this! Also, remember to download offline maps, as everyone will be so focused that your phone will have no signal!
