Streaked with colours created by runoff from local mineral springs |
The rock is over 100m long and more than 15m tall |

Nambung NP - Pinnacles Desert |
Pete in the desert |
This vast, alien-like plain... |
...is studded with thousands... |
...of limestone pillars |
Rising eerily from the desert floor... |
...the pillars are remnants... |
...of compacted seashells... |
...that once covered the plain |
Pete driving through the fomations |
Formations all around |
All the way to the sea... |
...and off into the distance |
The colours... |
...and shapes... |
...are amazing |
Some are tall |
Some are different colours |
Some are very small |
Lake Thetis - living stromatolites... |
...the world's oldest organisms... |
...inhabit the shoreline |
