Some few weeks ago biologists and the

that some pink lakes had been dis
covered i'm the Malice district OF the state

Further information. however. confirms
the discovery. There now seems To bs
no doubt that two pink lakes exist.
The lakes are salt and situated close
to deserted homestead. in the north-
west of Victoria, a few miles from
Mount Guar. The water has the
color of bright pink, caused by chem.
