Cervantes

We travelled north along the Indian Ocean Drive for about 2 hours, until we reached The Pinnacles within the Nambung NP. They are set within desert landscape and comprise of thousands of limestone pillars up to 4 m tall. We parked up at the visitor centre and read the information panels telling us the history of what we were about to see. There are various theories as to how the Pinnacles came about - but no one is really sure just how they evolved. We followed a 1.2 km walking trail through many of the pillars of rock, stopping to take photos. A real spectacle to see. From there we drove to our first campsite at Cervantes, a small coastal town.
We had a wander through the smalltown to a look out point to the sea, this is on the turquoise coast. There were some grey clouds about but we could see the colours in the water when the sun shone through. we walked along the beach back into town.
The site was busy (it still being the Easter school holidays in WA and Anzac Day on Friday) and our pitch was wedged in between families enjoying the beach and heated on site pool. Although it was noisy during the day by 9pm all was silent, and we slept well.Read more
