The extraordinary ancient rock formations that make up the Pinnacles are located about a three-hour drive north of Perth near the coastal town of Cervantes.
Regarded as one of Australia's most unique landscapes, these incredible limestone spiers rise eerily out of the sand, some several metres tall. You can get up close to the Pinnacles on a scenic drive and walk trail that includes an amazing lookout over the Nambung National Park. It's believed the Pinnacles were created millions of years ago as seashells were broken down into sand and then eroded by water and wind.
The Pinnacles Desert Discovery, an interpretive centre has displays that provide an insight into the natural processes that formed the amazing pinnacle structures as well as information on the biodiversity of the park.
The Pinnacles are easy to access by car or you can take a coach or four wheel drive tour from Perth.
| Opening Hours |
Accessible all year. The Pinnacles Desert Discovery Centre is open 9:30am to 4:30pm. |
