Witness thousands of colossal limestone pinnacles stand proud and unwavering, peppering the vastness of the yellow desert sand in Nambung National Park in Perth, Australia. Defying the test of time, these unearthly formations have stood for approximately 25,000 to 30,000 years ago, finding their genesis in an aeon when oceans covered the sands. Watch the native wildlife stride through these ageless pillars and stay for sunset's embellishment of the landscape, painting it in an array of ethereal colors. Learn more about the natural history of these gorgeous pinnacles at the Pinnacles Desert Discovery Centre that provides extensive information and various interactive displays detailing this phenomenon.

Beyond the Pinnacles, try your hand at fishing at Thirsty Point Lookout or take a dip in the white sand beach of Hangover Bay, flooded with the clear teal waters of the Indian Ocean. Don't miss the troop of kangaroos that repose at Kangaroo Point or the fresh seafood harboring in the neighboring town of Cervantes. Nambung National Park is a place where time stands still; where nature remains unravaged by the claws of modern living.
