Chinese tourists helping keep tiny town alive

A growing number of Chinese tourists are helping to save a dying Australian town, after a little-known tourist attraction was featured on a number of Chinese travel blogs.

The residents of Sea Lake, a town of just 600 people in the Australian state of Victoria, barely sees travelers stop at their gas station while driving by, but a sudden influx of Chinese tourists is helping keep the town's economy alive.

The tourists come to see Lake Tyrrell - a shallow, salt crusted and often dry lake just out of town, as it provides a stunning backdrop for photographers looking to shoot the Milky Way.
