Our best day of Aussie tourism so far.... We started the day on a wildflower trail, seeing lots of such vibrantly coloured flowers on the roadside, our favourites being everlastings and kangaroo paw.
We then drove on a 4wd unsealed road to a cave in the middle of nowhere - our first off road experience!
We then trekked round a great nature walk, culminating in some great views, closely followed by Pete falling on his backside, ouch! As we walked back to the car we spotted kangaroos jumping by us.
Then the piece de resistance, after setting up camp and having the local speciality of crayfish, we went on a night time drive to see the Pinnacles by moonlight. These are rock formations created by ancient trees that were buried and fossilised, reappearing thousands of years later in these eerie structures. It felt very other worldly as we saw them late at night, being the only people on the entire site. On the night time drive there and back we saw loads of kangaroos, they hopped out on the road in front of us and Pete had to brake hard once to avoid hitting one. It was really exciting, but also a bit scary!
We returned to the Pinnacles the next day, to explore the site in the daytime and we saw an emu.
