Hangover Bay near Cervantes
Huge sand dunes
The Pinnacles
We had covered pretty much all we wanted to do on the south coast so figured it was time to head back to some sunshine and one other natural phenonemum 800km back north of Perth so we decided that we would pack up the tent and set off as quick as we could as it started raining. Soon enough we were back in stinking hot sunshine and reached Perth in a few hours. We drove into some pretty big bugs on the way and later found out they were locusts that had recently been through the area. We still had another three hours to go to our destination so we just kept on rolling until we reached Cervantes beach.
On the turn off for Cervantes you go past fabulous little beaches and some huge sand dunes before we eventually reached "The Pinnacles". Standing tall throughout a mass of sand stood many limestone pinnacles eroded away by the wind and the sand. Very impressive and is worth the visit but once we had driven around them and taken our photos whilst being buffeted by strong winds and sand stripping us bare it was time to set off back to Fremantle, Perth before it got dark.
