Virtual Australia: The Pinnacles WA


Like an other-worldly landscape...The Pinnacles (literally thousands of them) rise out of the yellowish sand of Nambung National Park in Western, Australia.

Created from eroded limestone. Once the millions and millions of bodies of tiny sea creatures...compressed over time to solid rock.  It is hard to conceive that this was once the floor of a vast sea.



Many rising taller than 6 feet.

Now. not only a popular tourist and photographer's destination, but home to wandering emu, kangaroos, and a variety of Australian Desert wildlife.


In an area of the park know as The Pinnacles Desert.








At night it offers beautiful star-gazing.
