Hutt Lagoon’s Pink Lake
At The Flying Emu, we create high-impact aerial video content using FPV and cinematic drone technology — and few places in Western Australia are as visually striking as Hutt Lagoon, also known as the Pink Lake. This page features a dynamic FPV drone flight over the vivid lake surface, showcasing its textures, colour gradients, and surreal geometry from a perspective only drones can offer.
Filmed during the day under clear light, this footage offers a rare, flowing look at one of WA’s most photogenic natural landmarks — captured with movement, scale, and artistic intent.
Hutt Lagoon (The Pink Lake)
Located near Port Gregory on WA’s Coral Coast, Hutt Lagoon is known for its natural pink hue, caused by algae (Dunaliella salina) that produces beta-carotene. Depending on the time of day, season, and salinity, the lake shifts between soft blush tones and electric pink — making it one of the most uniquely coloured bodies of water on Earth.
From the ground, it’s impressive.
From the air, it’s something else entirely.
This shoot took place during the day under high sun — a time when the lake’s pink is clearest, and the shadows along the edges are crisp, creating graphic contrast.

Traditional drones provide smooth, stable aerial shots. FPV (First-Person View) adds another layer — agility, intimacy, and emotion. At Hutt Lagoon, where the textures and tones shift rapidly depending on light and angle, FPV allows us to:
This kind of video isn’t about standing back — it’s about moving through.
Our team offers both FPV drone cinematography and traditional DJI aerial filming, depending on the story, location, and feel you want to capture.
We offer:
We fly FPV to turn landscapes into motion.
