Pinnacles - Western Australia

Okay, here goes...On the road trip in Western Australia, we drove from Perth to Pinnacles National Park. The pinnacles are a fairly rare geological formation, but that is about as far as my knowledge goes because there seems to be a lot of uncertainty as to how they are formed. To get there, we traveled along the Indian Ocean for a good portion of the trip, then were forced inland due to a lack of roads. The landscape is dominated by coastal heath, limestone cliffs and spectacular beaches, and kangaroos! We saw heaps of them, some with joeys, and emus as well. The kangaroo are so numerous that all the vehicles traveling along the highway have "roo-bars" mounted on the front to prevent damage to vehicles from repeated collisions. Some pictures from the Pinnacles below, emus crossing the road, and the roo-bar on Hurvey the Van.
