A pale morning light catches the limestone fingers of the Pinnacles as your small 4WD group slips into Nambung National Park. The air smells of sand and salt; the landscape alternates between stark, sculpted pillars and low scrub that seems to lean into the wind. With room for only five guests, the day moves at a steady pace—photo stops, a boardwalk stroll at Lake Thetis, and an uncrowded drive along the 4.5 km Pinnacles trail where the formations loom like a fossilized city.
