We went to Nambung National Park today. It's a 3 hour drive north of the city but worth it. You've probably seen it on Billy Connolly's World tour of Australia. The area we visited is named "The Pinnacles". If you want to find out a bit more about how the pinnacles were formed click on this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pinnacles_Desert
The scenery on the way was really nice given the time of year. Very green and in bloom. Very low fire risk as it is the start of Spring and the temperature was 24°C.

Although the wildlife is more prevalent at dusk and dawn we did see a kangaroo and an emu. Unfortunately they were road kill and lying at the side of the road. We also saw a lizard crossing the road and plenty of parrots and cockatoos (which are as common as seagulls back home) but we didn't see the Gould's Lizard Michael was hoping to see. Maybe once it warms up a bit!
A familiar sight by the end of our road trip
Small pic but higher res than the rest if you click on it.
Delia reckons this rock looks like a really auld manny. Michael disagrees; he reckons it looks like his Dad.
