The Pinnacles

Before we left Yanchep we had a final look at the koalas who thankfully were holding on tightly as the strong winds buffeted the branches they were sat on. We then did a short walk through the limestone gorge that had small caves and a natural bee hive where the honey comb was clearly visible. It was a very windy drive north (our little high top van felt it) through interesting desert / coast landscapes, including massive inland sand dunes and a tree full of flip flops! The Pinnacles are limestone formations within the Nambung National Park and scientists are unsure of how they were formed. One theory is that they were once tree trunks covered in sand and another is that they were once shells. Either way, it was interesting to walk around and the rain that had been chasing us all day didn't catch up with us until evening. While there we did spot this desert cockroach, quite different from other ones seen on our travels!Read more
