The Pinnacles

Travelling around Australia, it's obligatory to do something remotely touristy. RP and I decided to go and visit the Pinnacles, which consists of limestone(?) structures formed in the desert.

Included in the tour was a stop by the petting zoo. Not t
hat I haven't seen any native animals before, but it seemed this was more for the pleasure of the Japanese tourists. Feeding kangaroos was quite fun, cos they're like cute mutant dogs nibbling treats from your hand. Tee hee - kinda tickles. The baby ones are so cute!


As you can see, I'm enjoying myself there.

"The Pinnacles" - I did read the information booklet describing how they formed, but it was in one ear and out the other. Something to do with tree roots, sand and wind.

RP and I.

Me doing something seriously touristy. But hey, it kinda did look like Jaws and I didn't want to regret the opportunity to do something retarded.

Again, doing something stupid. You gotta realise unless you do something silly, all my photos would have looked the same!

The tour guide said this was the largest Pinnacle. No smutty jokes here.


Oh no! It's falling!
This one supposedly looks like a kangaroo. I had to use my imagination a bit in order to picture it, so I've outlined some bits to help you guys along. There were a few other Pinnacles which resembled geisha, lions and various other figures but it was really pushing my rather vivid imagination.

Our day ended with a sand boarding tour. The sand was so white and powdery, almost like snow.

Sandboarding. If you fell off, all you got was sand in your mouth and clothes.

Some random shots.

Jacob's ladder. A flight of stairs leading up to King's park in Perth. I got sore hamstrings! Need to work out at the gym more.

Perth CBD. It's actually a bit smaller than what it looks.
