Lake Tyrrell is a shallow, salt-crusted depression in the Mallee district of north-west Victoria, in Australia. Getting here is a 5 hour drive from Melbourne and staying the night is a must if you want to experience both a sunset and a sunrise. Tourism here has increased in recent years with bus loads of people being dropped off at the main viewing area but there isn’t much to see from there. To get the most out of this place you need to put your gumboots on and go for a hike, which is exactly what I did. Spent hours out here exploring the edge of the lake I came across salt bush bearing the signs of a drought. Upon closer observation I noticed that it was actually alive and well, it was the salt powder that covered this bush that gave it a white and pale appearance as if it were dead.
