We left Perth behind & continued north
Along the Turquoise Coast the foredune and sandblows continue to accumulate white lime-rich sand. Hardy plants struggle to stabilise the shifting sands with deep binding roots.
Here, where fire and wind have removed the stabilising vegetation, these older dunes of golden quartz sand reveal their secret. The Pinnacles Desert!
The Pinnacles originate from windblown beach sands and rotting plants.
They have been sculptured by acidic ground water beneath the dunes. Once the Pinnacles are exposed by shifting sands they are further sculpted by wind, rain and sun.
Is this the Pinnacle of our trip???????

a modern day swagman gave us some macadamia nuts when we were in Greenbushes.
they were all green like the top picture
we had to toast them in the webber to dry them out
second picture
easy to remove outer husk to get to the inner shell
getting the nuts out wasn't easy .....
Les had to use his socket set to crack the nuts
they tasted yummy!!
