nambung national park

It has been a while since we featured a rock based point of interest, so onwards to Nambung National Park, north of Perth on the coast to see the Desert Pinnacles, tall, jagged limestone pillars that were buried under sand for hundreds of years before being exposed by the wind.

Currently there are more than 1,000 of them, but new pillars are being exposed to the north while those in the south are being consumed by new sand blows.

The weather has been cooler and we were unprepared for the roasting we got while walking around the hot yellow sands. A very arid area which looks odd right next to the ocean.
