More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A morning coach rolls out of Perth and the city dissolves into scrub and scorched grass. By midmorning the landscape has a different grammar: windswept dunes give way to the Pinnacles, pale limestone spires that stand like weathered columns across an ochre plain. The air is dry and sharp; gulls wheel above the coast, and a wind that has shaped these rocks for millennia nudges you along the boardwalk.
