| The Pinnacles desert covers an area of approx 400 hectares and contains aeollian-limestone standing up to 3 metres high |
 |
| You can drive through a loop road for 4km or park/walk a shorter loop as we did today |
 |
| Unfortunately, even these 30,000 year old pinnacles do get damaged with humans climbing on them! |
We started our day visiting the Pinnacles Desert in the Nambung National Park. The Pinnacles were mistaken for the ruins of an ancient city by Dutch sailors off the coast in 1700. It is hard to believe that they are only 6 klms from the coast and so we stopped at Hangover Bay for lunch and enjoyed the beauty there.
 |
| You cannot be mistaken - you are on the Turquoise Coast for sure. |
 |
| Pure white sandhills inland where wildflowers abound. |
 |
| More White sand dunes along this coastline. |
 |
| All of a sudden while travelling south we came across heaps of these blackboy palms all with new shoots. |
Pulling up at a rest area for the night, I baked Wayne some peanut cookies before taking a stroll around as I noticed several bushes with different flowers. Wow, little did I know that I would find more new flowers etc plus kangaroo paws.
