Stop to see the kangaroos and koalas.
Pinnacle Desert Sunset
View the sensational colours in the sky as the sun sets over the Pinnacle Desert while you stroll through the rock formations that are believed to have been created millions of years ago when seashells were broken down into sand and then eroded by water and wind.
Pinnacle Desert Stargazing
As darkness falls over the Pinnacle Desert, amazing stars light up the night sky. With no light pollution, you will be able to see the stars in stunning detail.

We head north away from the city towards Yanchep National Park for a quick comfort stop and an opportunity to see the koalas and kangaroos.

Arriving late afternoon avoids the crowds and heat and allows for breathtaking sunsets. Experience the moon-like landscape come to life as the sunsets over the Indian Ocean and moon rises.
Once darkness falls, we head to the fishing town of Cervantes for our included dinner in a traditional Western Australia tavern to soak up a real Australian atmosphere before heading out into the night to experience the night sky. We head back into the Pinnacles Desert to the observation deck to experience the tranquillity of the national park and view the night sky without light pollution.
