Tips for Visiting The Pinnacles 🏜️ In Nambun

Tips for Visiting The Pinnacles 🏜️

In Nambung National Park, WA, you’ll find the Pinnacles: a vast desert dotted with thousands of limestone formations. These structures, sculpted over thousands of years from seashell deposits, create an otherworldly landscape that’s both eerie and beautiful.

⏰ Best Time to Go:
Experience the Pinnacles at sunset for the most dramatic lighting and fewer crowds.

🚗 Getting There:
Approximately 2.5 hours north of Perth, the Pinnacles are easily accessible by car or guided tour. Stop at spots like Hangover Bay and Lancelin Sand Dunes along the way.

🌟 Making the Most of Your Visit:
- Visitor Center: Kick off your visit at the Pinnacles Desert Discovery Centre. Learn about how they were formed and get tips for the best spots to explore.
- Drive the Pinnacles Loop: Take your time driving the 4km Pinnacles Loop. This scenic drive allows you to see the formations from different angles and makes it easy to hop out and explore.
- Sunset Picnic: Bring a blanket and a cooler and have dinner while watching the sunset over the Pinnacles. It can get chilly once the sun goes down, so bring an extra layer to stay warm.
- Essentials: Sunscreen, hat, comfy shoes, and plenty of water are must-haves. The weather can be unpredictable, and the sun can be intense, especially during summer.
- Stay for Stargazing: If you can, stick around after sunset. The clear desert skies are perfect for stargazing, offering a stunning view of the Milky Way.

If a Great Ocean Road road trip isn’t on your bucket list, it should be! 🌊

Spanning 243 kilometers along the southeastern coast of Australia, the Great Ocean Road connects the Victorian cities of Torquay and Allansford. Originally constructed as a memorial to those who served in World War I, it’s now one of the world’s most scenic coastal drives.

Here’s why the Great Ocean Road should be at the top of your travel wishlist:

* Natural wonders: Don’t miss the famous Twelve Apostles and hidden waterfalls like Erskine Falls.
* Charming coastal towns: Stop by quaint seaside towns like Lorne and Apollo Bay.
* Wildlife: Spot koalas, kangaroos, and other native animals in their natural habitat.
* Outdoor activities: Whether you’re interested in hiking, kayaking, surfing or simply soaking up the sun, the Great Ocean Road offers endless opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts.
* Epic sunsets: End each day with a sunset over the ocean.
* A road trip for all seasons: From blooming wildflowers in spring to stormy seas in winter, each season has its own unique appeal.

🩴 Manly Beach to Shelly Beach coastal walk - It’s a beautiful, easy walk and Shelly Beach is a great place to just chill out or go snorkeling.

🍓Palmó Artisan Açai - Their bowls are super refreshing, especially on a hot day.

🚲 Hire a bike and cycle around - Biking is such a fun way to see Manly. You can cover so much ground in a short amount of time.

🐟 Manly Fish Market - If you love seafood, this is a must-visit. Grab some fresh fish and chips to-go and enjoy them by the water!

🍦Anita Gelato - Their gelato is a definite must-try in Manly. So many delicious flavors to choose from, but my personal favorite is the salted caramel toffee!
