The Pinnacles (Sunday 27th April)

---

We left the big city of Perth and hit the highway to hunt out the Pinnacles and then Brendan in Gero.

You may ask what are the Pinnacles? They are thousands of limestone pillars (up to 4 metres high) rising up from the sand. The reason that they have formed is long and technical so won't get into that!

What was supposed to be an enjoyable diversion into the Pinnacles was interrupted by a ‘Robot’ Ranger Woman and a rule that all vans had to be unhitched to enter. Nuances aside, the effort was worth it with amazing views of the Pinnacles, the stark shapes of the stones against the spectacular yellow sand.

Take your mind back 20 years and envision Carrie and Amy at the Pinnacles as 12 and 10 year olds hand standing our way around the park. The Collopy’s decided that the tradition must continue with all 5 of us testing the strength of the Pinnacles as we did handstands against them. I am happy to report that no damage was done.
