Lake Bumbunga, located near Lochiel in South Australia's Mid North region, is renowned for its striking pink shores, a result of high salinity levels and specific algae thriving in the waters. The lake's color varies seasonally, transitioning from pink to white to blue, offering a unique spectacle throughout the year. Visitors can enjoy a walking trail around the lake, providing scenic views and opportunities for photography. A notable feature is the "Loch-Eel Monster," a fiberglass sculpture situated in the center of the lake, adding a whimsical touch to the landscape. Salt mining has been a significant activity at Lake Bumbunga since 1881, contributing to the region's economy. The lake is approximately a one hour and forty-minute drive from Adelaide, making it a popular stop for travelers exploring the Clare Valley wine region.
