The pinnacles desert
is in the Namburg National Park.
In this area of
varying coloured sand there are thousands of limestone pinnacles, which range
in size up to 5m tall and 2m thick at the base.
They were formed
thousands of years ago when ancient plant roots formed a weak cementation of
calcite within the dunes and have been exposed by wind and shifting sands.
First time driving off
road with the jeep!
Well, sort of off road, it was a track!
We got there a bit
late to watch the sunset, but it was still light enough to see the desert. It
was just awesome! Hundreds of pinnacles in the sand!
We slept on car park
over night (totally illegal as normal).
We got up early to
watch the sun rise over the desert the next day. It was magnificent! The
colours were so beautiful! The sky so pink and red!
One last drive around
the pinnacles, and it was time to hit the road again.
