The Pinnacles

As the summer has turned to fall, in Australia the winter is turning to spring. I am reminiscing our trip to Western Australia and one of the most amazing sights we visited - the Pinnacles.

We drove down a road not far from the ocean and there they were. Fields of these tree like limestone formations. There was an eery quiet, almost like a graveyard despite people milling around them.

No one knows exactly how they formed and until the 1960's people camped among them and climbed them.  They are now protected in what has become Nambung National Park.  

We stayed nearby in the town of Cervantes and visited them at sunset and then not having seen enough, again, the next morning.  You can see why.
