Ever noticed how each national park has its own natural colour theme? Here are some of our favourites.

If you look through pictures of any national park on Instagram, you might notice that the pictures all have a distinct colour theme.

Here are some of our favourite images taken by parks visitors, which showcase some of the most distinct and diverse natural colour themes in parks.

1. Piccaninnie Ponds Conservation Park

With its clear turquoise water, navy blue depths and lime green algae – Piccaninnie Ponds is a divers’ and snorkelers’ paradise.

3. Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park

This park’s colour palette varies with the seasons. In winter, the landscape is green with new growth, in summer the grass dries and dusky, warm colours take over.
