The Pinnacles

After leaving Lancelin we headed towards Nambung National Park and the famed Pinnacles. We nearly didn't make it in as Jackson had gone a bit crazy ( I am sure an old wives tale says that wind turns people a bit strange and it certainly did. He spent the hour drive there screaming his lungs out for no apparent reason). Daniel and I ended up taking turns carrying him for a lot of the Pinnacles walk but at least we got to see it, and we are glad we did as it was incredible. The Pinnacles are limestone pillars made by freshwater mixing with sand then becoming calcified. They are thousands of years old and some reach as high as 4m. It was really bizarre a walking through a sandy desert area with all these structures surrounding you.

Anyway that night we get some books out to read and one of them is Hunwick's Egg by Mem Fox. Kids (and us) were amazed to see it is set in the Pinnacles! Very coincidental.
