There are pink lakes in Australia. On the western coast of Australia, a pink lake called Lake Hillier can be found. It gets its colour from the algae present in the area which mixes with the lake’s salt content to create a pink colour. Despite the vibrant pink colour, it is safe to swim in this lake. The Russians arrived 12 days late to the 1908 Olympics. This was mainly because they were following the wrong calendar. After this incident, the catholic nations mandated the use of the Gregorian Calendar.
