Perth, Yanchep and the Pinnacles

---

Perth 14th-16th June

We're not city people so we only had a very quick look around the city and decided to keep moving up the west coast, chasing the good weather. We drove to Yanchep, on the outskirts of Perth, which is a park that has a protected colony of koalas. There was a beautiful lake there, which we walked around, and plenty of birdlife.

Later we carried on to Nambung where the Pinnacles are. They are pointed rocks in a desert. We spent the afternoon walking and driving around them. It was quite surreal but very lovely. In a way it made me think of graveyards and tombstones - cheerful! But not in a morbid way. Rob loved driving around the desert road - it was the first desert he has driven on.
