The Pinnacles: The Pinnacles
These limestone pillars are called the Pinnacles. They can be found at Nambung National Park, about 250 kms north of Perth. While this area was beautiful, it was a little bit anti-climatic. I'm not sure that I would have made a separate trip to see them, but it was well worth the photo-stop on our roadtrip up the coast.

The Pinnacles: Cervantes
We reached the small village of Cervantes from New Norcia and were almost lost on Australia’s by-roads not using an appropriate road map. Cervantes is still 50 km’s from Brand Highway through more or less boring scenery of heath land. It was named after a ship - Miguel de Cervantes - that was wrecked nearby.
The most important industry is fishing, but the village is well known as starting point for visiting Nambung National Park with the famous Pinnacles Desert.

We decided for a stay in Cervantes, because it is about 250 km’s from Perth/Fremantle, having more time to see the Pinnacles and on a more appropriate time of the day without the tour buses with crowds of tourists.

If you intend to stay also in Cervantes better make a reservation, because there are not too many places to sleep:
Pinnacles Beach Backpackers & Cervantes Lodge (see accommodation tip), Cervantes Pinnacles Motel, Cervantes Holiday Homes and the Pinnacles Caravan Park.
For eating: Don Quixote’s Restaurant (closed during our stay), Europe Anchor Restaurant (motel), See Breeze Café and the local pub Ronsard Bay Tavern.

Cervantes also has a supermarket and a petrol station, but if possible try to avoid filling up your tank, because the petrol was the most expensive we had in Australia.

Directions: From Perth take the Great Northern Highway and then the Brand Highway to the north. Cervantes is signposted and 50km's from the Brand Highway.
