The Pinnacles Desert

While in Cervantes, I did a little guided tour of the Pinnacles Desert, also called Nambung National Park, an incredible and eerie place where loads of rocks are standing in the middle of a very sandy place... This is a geological phenomenon, due to erosion, rain and moving dunes. I won't go into details on this. If you need more information, there's a very good place to look for it: it's called the Internet :-).

The guide introduced me (I was the only one on the tour) to a funny game: finding rocks that looked like animals or objects. And we did find quite a few interesting ones...

Apparently this is the tooth of a dinosaur called the sidotrackesaurus. Indeed, it sits on the side of the track... We have also found its tail (see further below).




This is the platypus (ornythorinque).




The double kangaroo... One side:




And the other:




Here's the dinosaur's tail:







The hawk (my discovery!!).










Impressive sunset on the Pinnacles...












Wildlife in and around the desert:
