The Pinnacles

We enjoyed our few days meander down to Perth, although the weather continued to be ordinary. We had been looking forward to Kalbarri and exploring the nearby National Park, however due to the rain, the roads were closed so we didn't stay long. We poked our nose into the various lookouts and towns down the coast and survived a windy night in Geralton.

Our last stop-over before Perth was Cervantes, and the nearby Pinnacles. We had read somewhere that sunset was a good time to go there, and as it turns out, it was the ONLY time to go there! After later catching up with friends, we learned that their Pinnacles experience was cut short having been chased away (or very nearly, carried away) by billions of flies - which seemed to magically disappear in the late afternoon coolness.  Luckily for us, the flies were gone, the rain held off, and we had the place to ourselves. I had a wonderful time taking photos - which I am going to bore you with shortly, and we all had a challenging game of hide and seek. James even took inspriation from Billy Connolly's memorable Pinnacles visit, and did a nudie streak accross the sand. Good fun was had by all!






A well timed visitor
