Lake Bumbunga - a salt lake in South Australia. The pink colour is due to salt water algae, which forms when the water is at a very low level, and varies in intensity according to the prevailing light.

Yes I recall hearing about this lake and I believe they were producing Pink Salt commercially from it.
