The Pinnacles Desert is probably the ONLY national park where you can drive AMONGST the formations - which is a super unique experience. If you're keen to stretch the legs, you can also walk around the structures too.

When to visit: It's stunning all year-round, but best time to visit is between August - October when wildflowers bloom, adding a splash of colour to the desert.

Location: Just 2hrs north of Perth, the drive is accessible to all vehicles.

Cost: Since it's a national park, it does come at a small cost to visit (see my tips on purchasing a national parks pass when in WA).

Additional info: a unique landscape filled with thousands of weathered limestone pillars, some reaching heights of up to 3.5 meters. These formations, resembling columns and tombstones, are thought to have been formed from seashells broken down into lime-rich sands that were blown inland to create high dunes. You can spot Western grey kangaroos, Baudin's black cockatoos, and emus roaming the area, making it a popular spot for nature enthusiasts.
