Fremantle, Australia. Star Gazing

In the afternoon at 1:00pm we met our group and started to drive north of Fremantle.
We stopped few times to take some pictures and then arrive at the sand dunes.

It was a fun stop. Some people chose to stay in the restaurant, but the rest of us went sliding down the sand mountain. The hardest part was to climb up. No chair lifts.
I managed to go down three times.

On the way to the desert, we picked people from the restaurant and had a nice 20 minuted walk around.

After driving for another hour we arrived at the Pinnacle desert. We have never seen anything like that. The pictures cannot do the justice to this magnificent place.

The Pinnacles are amazing natural limestone structures, formed approximately 25,000 to 30,000 years ago after the sea receded and left deposits of sea shells. Over time, coastal winds removed the surrounding sand, leaving the pillars exposed to the elements. The Pinnacles range in height and dimension - some stand as high as 3.5m.

After sunset, tour guides sat up telescopes and binoculars to see the stars and were pointing to the formations. They also prepared a simple yummy dinner with wine.

We left the desert after 9:00pm and arrive back on the ship at 12:15am.
After shower (I had sand all over my body), straight to bed, have get up early to go to Perth for 9:00am walking tour.Leia mais
