The Pinnacles in full sun and at last light, under star trails and under
the Milky Way, plus the one-way drive, the walk trail, the Lancelin dunes and the
animals the day tours stop for. Every photograph here comes from the operators’
own listings for the departures Pinnacles Tours compares.

Where these photographs were taken
Most of them sit inside Nambung National Park, within a few kilometres of the
Pinnacles Desert Discovery Centre. The rest are on the road north from Perth — the
Lancelin Sand Dunes, the coastal reserves and the wildlife park three departures visit.
The map page shows how far apart they all are, and
things to do explains what each named place actually is.
