Nambung National ParkLocated in the Swan Coastal Plain, just 150 miles (about 245km)
north of Perth, the Nambung National Park is home to one of
Australia's most incredible natural attractions - the Pinnacles
Desert. One of the Seven Natural Wonders of Oceania, the Pinnacles
Desert consists of thousands of limestone pillars, protruding from
the yellow desert sand in a variety of shapes and sizes (some
reaching 3.5 metres in height). It is a truly unique sight, unlike
anything you've ever seen before - an unearthly, unforgettable
landscape, best viewed in September and October, when wildflowers
bloom, adding colour to the vast desert expanse. Nambung National
Park also boasts white-sand beaches and marine life, and
picnicking, swimming, fishing, and snorkelling opportunities -
making it a stone-cold 'must-see' attraction in the state of
Western Australia.
