Melbourne’s Pink Lake

February 26 2019 By melbournemamma Leave a Comment

All you need to know about the Pink Lake

Have you heard about Melbourne’s Pink Lake?

If you’ve seen the photos on social media, you’ve probably been thinking that someone gone a little OTT with a filter (or three) to create such images but I can assure you they haven’t because I went to the pink lake and it’s pretty friggin’ fabulous!

Located next to the Westgate Bridge at Westgate Park in Port Melbourne, the salt lake turns pink seasonally, in response to high salt levels, high temperatures, increased sunlight and lack of rainfall.   Algae growing in the salt crust produces the red pigment in response to the extremely high salt levels. The lake returns to its normal colour as the weather cools and rainfall increases.

The lake needs to be seen to be believed and it’s definitely worth taking the kids for a look – just make sure they do not touch the water.

Westgate Park - Pink Lake Melbourne

Location: Westgate Park, 4 Wharf Rd, Port Melbourne 


Getting there: Westgate Park is located along the eastern banks of the Yarra River, under the Westgate Bridge. Limited parking is available within the park off Todd Road, Port Melbourne. Catching the bus is a great way to visit Westgate Park, with the #235, #237 and #606 bus route running past the park .

Another fabulous page turner from Colleen Hoover 📚

AND another plot twist that I didn’t see coming 😳

Tissues required 😭

My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Fallon meets Ben the day before her big move to New York. Their attraction is untimely but undeniable. They spend her last day in Los Angeles together and Fallon’s eventful life becomes the inspiration Ben has sought for the novel he’s always wanted to write. 

Over time and amidst the relationships and tribulations of their own separate lives, Ben and Fallon continue to meet on the same date every year. Until, one day, Fallon becomes unsure if Ben has been telling her the truth or fabricating a perfect reality for the sake of the ultimate plot twist. 

Can Ben’s relationship with Fallon – and, at the same time, with his novel – be considered a love story if it ends in heartbreak?”

I finally see what all the fuss is about - this bo I finally see what all the fuss is about - this book is brilliant!!!

If you haven't already read ‘Verity’ - add it to your list NOW.

This book sure was ‘unputdownable’ and I was so blown away by the ending that I had to go back and read the last chapter again, just to make sure that my mind wasn't playing tricks on me [I’m still in a post flu fog 🤯]

My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish. 

Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity's notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read. Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity's recollection of the night their family was forever altered. 

Lowen decides to keep the manuscript hidden from Jeremy, knowing its contents would devastate the already-grieving father. But as Lowen's feelings for Jeremy begin to intensify, she recognizes all the ways she could benefit if he were to read his wife's words. After all, no matter how devoted Jeremy is to his injured wife, a truth this horrifying would make it impossible for him to continue loving her . . .”

Did you know about this eco friendly way to get ri Did you know about this eco friendly way to get rid of packing peanuts (those little white foam like things that come in your deliveries)? 💚📦

One of the downsides to doing lots of online shopping is the amount of packing materials/waste that I’m left with once my parcel has been opened 🙁

Since finding out that most packing peanuts are made of water-soluble starch, I use this handy trick to dispose of them in a safe and easy manner.

As for bubble wrap 🙄 - I always collect that and then give it away on a local Buy Swap Sell page, so that it can be reused by someone else ♻️

Influenza A 🤒 I do NOT recommend it! 0/5 ⭐ Influenza A 🤒

I do NOT recommend it! 0/5 ⭐

So, I've been in bed since last Sunday and finally got confirmation from the Dr that I have the flu 😫

What a 🤬 nightmare of a week it has been. 

My son and I both woke up feeling like 💩 on Mother’s Day and it was all downhill from there.

Thankfully, he only had a sore throat and a cough (negative for COVID) and was well enough to return to school on Thursday.

I, on the other hand, have been barely able to get out of bed all week and have a continuous cough, chills, sore chest, shortness of breath, racing heartbeat, aches and pains - even my eyeballs hurt 👀🤷🏻‍♀️

I have not been this sick for a very long time. 

Still not sure how I've avoided getting COVID for two years but as soon as the flu is about - WHAM!!! I've got it 💥

Considering that I still wear a mask at the shops and hadn’t really gone out much in the week prior, I assume my son picked it up at school 🦠

As soon as I'm well enough l’ll be getting my flu 💉

Anyone else feel like this is going to be a looooooong Winter? 😷🤧😬
