Visiting Nambung National Park to see the Pinnacles was a wonderful experience. The landscape is truly unique, and the park is very well-maintained. There is plenty of parking, good toilet facilities, and convenient picnic areas to enjoy a meal. Spending time here into the evening for stargazing was absolute magic—the night sky is unreal out here. Highly recommend adding this to your WA trip!
