Perth, Australia - Pinnacles and the Moving Sand Desert

Finally, around the mid afternoon, we arrive at the main destination of this tour. The Pinnacles. Initially, I didn't really know what the pinnacles actually is until we were nearing it. So the bus driver (Who was also the tour guide..) explained that the Pinnacles are actually naturally formed limestone formations. The raw materials used in the creation of these limestone are actually seashells.. If you want to know more about how these limestone are formed, go check wikipedia. =P

After that, we visited the Moving Sands, which is actually a sand dune. Its looks like a huge piece of desert land but here, many Australians come during the weekend to ride buggies, play sand boarding, and test their skills on the 4x4 in riding over the sand hills. These sand hills of course, are formed thanks to the wind, who blows the sand to form these hills. As they are moving, the shape of the hills will change from time to time.

Here are some pictures taken at these 2 places. Don't expect to see anything more than rocks and sands. Hahaha!!









As I was walking back, mother complained that I seemed to be taking picture of every stone I came along (thats exagerration), however when I caught this, I can't help but to take one because it is so..... "interesting". Mother nature does have a sense of humour doesn't she? =P





Some nice flowers I saw, perhaps it was one of those vegetations that help form the limestone. ^_^



Here at the sands...



and more sands again...



Sand with some stone road...



These are one of those smaller sand hills people ride their buggies or 4x4 over to challenge their skills...



In fact, we used it for sand boarding. ^_^



After all these, we finally went back to Perth city, and arrived pretty late, later than dinner time. When we arrive at a place where there were many restaurants, mother was asking if we want to try this restaurant....



And we were all like.. "You come all the way here to eat Malaysian food!?!?" In any case, sister says the food doesn't taste good and the boss sucks as well, so in the end, we settled for some Vietnamese food which my sister recommended. I ordered some duck noodle and boy, it tasted really good. It was awesome to have such nice dinner after a long and tiring day without a decent meal!

My next blog about the Australian trip is my Sister's Wedding, the main reason why we came to Australia! ^_^
