History
The Pinnacles Desert is part of Nambung National Park, established in 1994. The limestone formations are estimated to be 25,000 to 30,000 years old, created through a complex process involving seashells, wind erosion, and ancient vegetation. The area holds cultural significance for the local Nyoongar Aboriginal people, who have lived in the region for thousands of years. European explorers first documented the Pinnacles in the 17th century, but they remained relatively unknown until the 1960s when the area gained popularity as a tourist destination.
