Discovering Pinnicles Desert
Thousands of eerie limestone pillars up to 4 metres tall form the Pinnacles Desert. The moonscape scenery is made by the pillars rising out of the stark desert landscape of yellow quartz sand. The Pinnacles vary in size and shape; some are as small as a mouse whilst many are as big as 3.5m high.These unusually shaped rocks have been likened to tombstones, termite mounds and even fingers. The Pinnacles Desert is best seen at dawn or dusk when they cast long strange shadows over the rippling yellow sand dunes.
