There are strange events, strange people and in this case, a strange desert.
There is no consistant explanation from geologists for this bizzar land scape. Some of the pinnacles have the appearance of petrified forests, others not so. Either way, aging is agreed as quite young, that is thousands of years, not millions of years.
We walked through about 1/4 of the desert and enjoyed our time here. The location is a little south east of Cervanties, and there is good parking for all types of vehicles.
The coast is a few ks away with more bright white sand. This appears in some of the photos as it contrasts so strongly with the golden tone of crumbled lime stone that lines the desert.
The area is not entirely lifeless with reptiles, spiders and some bird life. The Gallahs nest in holes in the rocks.
For those with small vehicles, you can drive right around the park on laid out paths. Ordinary cars are fine. I was told I was too long to squeeze through some of the spots.
