Earlier this year we spent a week in Perth. One day we rented a car and set forth to the Pinnacles Desert which is located in Nambung National Park. Getting to the Pinnacles means a three-hour drive to the north about 200 kilometres above Perth. After we passed the vineyards in the Swan Valley, we drove on the Brand Highway through empty fields - often with a vision of burned trees. We often saw died kangaroos along the way, so called ‘road kills’. The roads are very good there by the way.
Near Cervantes there is a beach called Jurien Bay, where we wanted to jump into the Indian Ocean or at least swim in the turquoise water, but either the white sand on the beach or the ocean was fully covered with black seaweeds. No worries, we had a very delicious BBQ instead and lots of fun with our friends there. There is a free public barbecue table at the beach, which is very practical.
After lunch we went to Lake Thetis - which was created approx. 3 or 4 thousand years ago -, and where you can solely find a kind of stromatolites, whose structure is similar to of those lived a few hundreds or thousands years ago on Earth. Here you can read more about them, and there is useful inform
ation on this picture as well.
Time went fast so we had to hurry to the Pinnacles, because we wanted to spend there some time before sunset. In this desert the sand is yellow like mustard, but the reason this place is so popular is because you can find thousands of little pinnacle-columns. The tallest pinnacles reach 4 m high! Here you can read more about their creation, which is a really interesting process. You also find there an aboriginal tale related to this desert.
The tour through the Pinnacles Desert is about 3 or 4 km long, which you can do by car or on foot, but generally everyone takes the car. The road is marked by stones on the side and you can drive only in one direction, but you can stop where and whenever you wish. You will realise others going and stopping repetitively, making photos meanwhile, and running back to the car to continue their way.
It is worth waiting for the sunset there because that it is one of the most spectacular moments in this place. As the sun is setting, the colours of the sand and the sky change every minute, and the shadows of the pinnacles are getting longer and longer. What is also very amazing, is the atmosphere and the sound effects in the desert. It is a very quiet place very far away from any towns, not to mention, that there are only few animals, so no loud cockatoos, no parrots, no crows… The Pinnacles Desert is perfectly silent.
The sunset was extremely beautiful as the sky was burning in a more and more dark red colour. This one-day journey from Perth was really perfect and we certainly wish to go back again sometime.
- It is worth to travel there between September and October, or at least when it is spring time in Western Australia, because of the stunning wildflower season.
- Pinnacles Desert is in Nambung National Park and open all times through the year, the costs are 10 AUD per car.
