Lake Tyrrell (also known as Lake Tyrrell Wildlife Reserve) is a shallow, salt-crusted depression in the Mallee district of north-west Victoria, in Australia. The name 'Tyrrell' is derived from the local Wergaia word for 'sky', the Boorong Aboriginal people of the area being distinguished for their interest in star-lore. The Boorong, with their astronomical traditions, told stories connected with constellations in the night sky.
In the mid-2010s, the lake became a tourist mecca, particularly for Chinese. It is a popular location for photographers and social media users, who take snaps of the lake's mirror-like surface (天空之鏡) during winter, when ground water percolates to the surface and inflows arrive from the Avoca River/Tyrrell Creek system.
At more than 20,800 hectares, Lake Tyrrell might hold the title of state’s largest salt lake.
During dry periods, people can walk on to the lake area by using places where salt has formed a solid surface.
This was taken on an Autumnal dawn during dry season. Here the salt on the lake surface is drenched in the beautiful colours of a spectacular dawn clouds.
