Dream destinations: Sprinkle some pink into your next Aussie holiday
Before jet-setting to your own Australian dreamhouse, don’t forget to Barbie-fy your whole trip from start to finish at the Domestic Terminal.

From glamorous beach havens to chic city escapes, these enchanting Australian destinations and activities deserve a place in Barbieland.

Lake Hillier, Western Australia
Nature looks pretty in pink and this offshore island in Western Australia, known as Lake Hillier, proves the point.
Soak in the everchanging pinks of Lake Hillier from above with a scenic flight. The extraordinary phenomenon is a stunning sight to behold with its mesmerising bubble-gum pink hue amidst the surrounding green landscape.
The vivid pink shade is a result of a rare combination of natural factors, including the presence of a salt-loving microalgae and a high concentration of salt in the water. When the sun kisses the lake’s surface, it gives rise to the captivating rosy tint, creating a scene straight out of a dream.
While you’re adventuring this bright pink natural wander, stay at the Esperance Chalet Village for Barbie-approved accommodation nearby to relax in luxury and comfort after your day of exploring.
