Salt has been mined at the salt extraction works sited on the lake since 1881.[2]DescriptionAccording to anthropologist Norman Tindale the name was derives from the Parnpangka (local indigenous) term for 'rain water lake'.[2] Easily visible from Highway 1, the lake is a dramatic departure from the surrounding landscape due to its seasonal pink colouration and wide expanse.[2] The lake is fed by seasonal rainfalls running off the surrounding hills including the Hummocks Range.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}} Each summer a large portion of the lake dries up to expose salt flats.{{Citation needed|date=May 2017}} Salt miningExtraction of salt from the lake bed in the summer months commenced in 1881, following recognition of the site's potential for salt harvesting. By 1883 {{convert|6|to|8|LT|abbr=on|order=flip}} of salt was being mined per day. The growth and sustainment of the township of Lochiel on the southwest edge of the lake was strongly tied to the salt mining activity at the site during the twentieth century.[3][4][5][6] See also{{stack|{{portal|South Australia}}}}
