Photographer’s Note
Located 250km North from Perth - Western Australia's capital, right in the heart of Nambung National Park it's the Pinnacles Desert.
Here, thousands of huge limestone pillars rise from the shifting yellow sands, resembling a landscape from a science fiction movie. They reach up to three and a half metres tall.
Today the Nambung National Park is visited by approximately 150,000 visitors every year from all over the world.
From Perth, drive heading to North. Start your journey in the early morning, about 3 hours later, you will reach Nambung National Park. Refer to the signboard there that leads you to Pinncles Desert.
If you want to enjoy the scenery along the 250km journey, don't drive. There are many tour operators in Perth offer tour package. A full day tour that covers Pinnacles and 2 more attractions costs around A$150.

Hi JJ, thanks for the lovely view of the pinnacles. Rich colors and good to have a few persons as height reference. I was there years ago and simply marvel with the pinnacles formation.
