Discover 'strange planet' in Western Australia

Located not far from the southwest coast of Australia, the Pinnacles are exotic deserts with thousands of weathered limestone columns rising from the golden sand. Having the opportunity to come here, you will be overwhelmed by the natural scenery that does not "touch" with any other place in the world.

The Pinnacles Desert is flooded with wild animals, mostly nocturnal. So it's no wonder you see a gray kangaroo, ostrich, black kite bird or other reptiles clinging or crawling around these giant stone columns.

These are beautiful natural limestone structures formed about 25,000-30,000 years ago, after the sea receded leaving minerals from the shells. Over time, the sea breeze removed all the sandy soil around and displayed natural limestone pillars with strange shapes seen today.

Although rock formation in the Pinnacles desert has been around for thousands of years, they have only been discovered and noticed in recent times. Over time, the limestone towers here will be covered with sand again and then washed away. The cycle of repeated repetition creates strange and wonderful stone tower shapes in the future.
