The Pinnacles

The Pinnacles are the limestone structures that are preserved in Nambung National Park in Western Australia. They formed around 25,000-30,000 years ago after the receding of the sea. What makes the Pinnacles even more interesting is their sacred meaning to the local tribe. Some people believe they were fossilized ghosts, while the Aboriginal story tells about the men who walked through the sacred place meant only for women. They were punished and buried alive in the desert. The limestone blocks that reach 3.5 meters in height are said to be their weapons.
