The Pinnacles — Local services in Nambung

Awesome I loved it, just a 2 and a half hour drive north of Perth along the Indian Ocean Rd and you're there, you can do the 3km drive around The Pinnacles and or the 1km walk trail, certainly do both. We saw pink and grey galahs and a kangaroo, the attraction is very well maintained with clean and tidy amenities. My only concern is the visitors that ignore the signs and climb all over the structures all for that precious selfie, these structures have been here for thousands of years and our lives are like a Nano second of time compared to this area, these dopey people are here today and gone tomorrow but the damage as a result of their vanity is every lasting, oh and by the way, why do people need to leave their mark? LEAVE THE PLACE AS YOU FIRST...

Sunset definitely added to the lunar like landscape of the Pinnacles and we couldn't help taking tons of photos. It was a full moon night, so not suitable for stargazing. Best to check the time of the month before going for the stargazing tour. Had a hearty fish and chips dinner...
