Road Trip - Pinnacles, Western Australia

A day trip to The Pinnacles in Nambung National Park, about 3 hours drive up north from Perth.

The Pinnacles are natural limestone formations formed many many years ago, after the sea receded and left deposits of sea shells. 


Over time, coastal winds removed the surrounding sand, revealing these hidden pillars as if rising up from the yellow sand dunes.

How exactly the sea shells formed into these pinnacles still remain a bit of a mystery. The many wonders of nature.




The pinnacles come in all shapes and sizes
Uh Hello
Scrat want an acorn?
Camel or Sphinx


We spotted two young emus with an adult. Flightless emu of Australia are the second largest living bird in the world, after the ostrich of Africa. It can grow up to 1.9 m (6.2 ft) in height and sprint as fast as sprint at 50 km/h (31 mph)! Also, I found it interesting that the young are nurtured by their fathers.


See you next time, Pinnacles!
