The Pinnacles

The Pinnacles deserve their own blog.  On Saturday afternoon we ventured further north to Cervantes to view the extraordinary ancient rock formations that make up the Pinnacles.


Regarded as one of Australia's most unique landscapes, these incredible limestone spiers rise eerily out of the sand, some several metres tall. You can get up close to the Pinnacles on a scenic drive and walk trail that includes an amazing lookout over the Nambung National Park. It's believed the Pinnacles were created millions of years ago as seashells were broken down into sand and then eroded by water and wind.

We ran between them and watched the sunset behind them while enjoying our champagne and snacks.  It is truly a beautiful and mysterious site, this far-reaching field of pillars.
