Lake Ballard is a vast salt lake located in the Goldfields region of Western Australia, situated approximately 2.5 hours north of Kalgoorlie near the small town of Menzies. Lying roughly 800 kilometers inland from the west coast, this remote and expansive dry lake sits deep in the Australian outback. Lake Ballard is widely recognized as an art destination, home to Antony Gormley's iconic "Inside Australia" sculpture installation, featuring figures cast from local indigenous community members spread across the lake's flat, white salt crust. The lake is typically dry, filling only after significant rainfall events such as cyclones, and its harsh, arid environment is not conducive to recreational fishing. As a salt lake in a remote desert setting, Lake Ballard does not support freshwater fish populations and is not considered a fishing destination.
