“Western Australia has many wonderful diverse destinations that you wont find anywhere else in the world, the Pinnacles is one of them.” Real Aussie Adventures
What we really like about the Pinnacles Western Australia is that they seem so mysterious, how is it that they appeared in the middle of the desert. Just take the famous Indian Ocean drive from Perth, passing stunning beaches and there they are, lunar like spirals coming out of the sand dunes. They were formed millions of years ago and can be up to 4m tall.
These ‘rocks’ are ancient desert sculptures, limestones in different formations that rise out of yellow sand dunes.
Situated at the Nambung National Park, it is a unique opportunity to get up close to these wild wonders and marvel at its natural beauty.
Dating back millions of years, these geological creatures age as enigmatically as it is beautiful. Beyond appreciating these weathered rocks, there are a plethora of ways to make the visit magical. Visit the local discovery centre in Nambung National Park.
The Pinnacles is a truly unique experience. From the journey through the park, to the walking around Pinnacle rocks, this is a place that will leave you feeling like you have gone back in time.

It’s thought the sea receded and left deposits of sea shells. Over time, coastal winds removed the surrounding sand, leaving the yellow pillars exposed to the elements.
No the Pinnacles in Western Australia are not termite mounds. These yellow rocks are limestone, made from seashells over thousands of years.
