We get out of Jurian Bay around 2 in the afternoon, quite late. The trip lasted longer, or started than I first thought. But our plans do not change that much, on our list is actually only Pinnacle Desert, is it really such a big desert with huge tall rocks that originated thousands of years ago. Originally, we still planned to take a tour of a fishing factory where they make lobsters, but the shows are only till 2 PM so we couldn't make it. Even so, it should be just a 15 minutes show, I think we did not loose anything extra.
About half an hour's drive we arrived in Nambung National Park, where the aforementioned Pinnacles are. Day is slowly running out, it's three in the afternoon, the sunsets is at six, but we still have enough time. The Pinnacles are not rare in Australia, but this park is the largest and biggest of all. First we made a circle around the whole park with the car through a desert road, it was about four kilometers. Sun was quite hard, however it did not bother that much as those nasty little flies. That's why I said myself that for a walk I use protective the net and it was truly a good idea. With net on my head I didn't care about the flies at all. They couldn't get into my glasses, ears, nose, mouth ... they were really awful and disgusting intrusive, I don't even want to think about it anymore.
So we still made the hour-long walk tour through the desert and we're slowly approaching the end of our trip. We wanted to leave here still before sunset, because we had planned to stop on the way back on one of the sand dunes, it was very close to the road and there was no need to climb through any bush trees. When we climbed the sand dunes, the wind picked up slightly and sand started flying around the air. I had to protect my camera, otherwise it would have been full of sand, and I'd say it wouldn't be very good.
As the sun was going to the horizon, we also took away towards our 180 kilometers journey home. Tired of swimming and walking the whole day, I was very glad that we came back home happily. And also that we met along the way no kangaroo who wants to try a jump over moving obstacles. Weekend was therefore absolutely great, we enjoyed it to the fullest. So we will now rest for a while before we go somewhere else.
