The Pinnacles Desert is north of Perth just near the town of Cervantes. We hadn’t heard much about them before we arrived and were surprised at just how amazing they are. The pinnacles are limestone formations that rise out of sand up to 2.5 metres high. They are the remnants of trees that were covered by a sand blow and have been petrified into fossils. It is easy to imagine yourself in the forest that once existed as you walk amongst the pillars of limestone. As you look closer into some of them you can see the fossilised roots of the trees.
