No supplies nearby, remember to bring food for a picnic! * Best viewing season: September to November . 🌟 Kalbarri National Park Hike 30 minutes to Nature’s Window (remember to wear sports shoes), entrance fee about 12 AUD per car, very sunny in summer! Be sure to apply sunscreen! . 🌟 Shell Beach & Eagle Bluff Shell Beach is a white beach made entirely of shells, one of only two in the world Eagle Bluff cliff overlooks clear seawater, sometimes you can see sea turtles 🐢 . 🌟 Francois Peron National Park 4WD Adventure Requires a 4WD vehicle, recommended to rent a professional off-road car The visual impact of red earth + blue sea is especially suitable for aerial photography! Rich in wildlife, you can also soak in red mud hot springs! . 🔍 Practical Tips: 1️⃣ Book ferry tickets and sea tours in advance! 2️⃣ Signal is unstable throughout, download Google Maps offline packages in advance 3️⃣ UV rays in Western Australia are extremely strong, sunglasses + sunscreen are essential 4️⃣ Best photo time at Pink Lake is around 10 AM or during soft light at dusk

The Pinnacles Desert

My visit to the Pinnacles in Western Australia left me with unforgettable memories. The natural landscape is magnificent, and the shapes and arrangement of the stones evoke a sense of mystery and wonder. Entering the Pinnacles felt like stepping back in time, immersing myself in the wisdom and charm of an ancient civilization. The surroundings are also beautiful, with the majestic desert landscape contrasting with the blue sky, creating a breathtaking scene. Especially at sunset, the sunlight shimmering on the stones is particularly captivating, transforming the entire scene into a moving painting. #MacauItinerary #Pinnacles This trip not only allowed me to experience the majesty of nature, but also deepened my understanding of history and culture. The Pinnacles are not only a natural wonder, but also a symbol of human wisdom. I look forward to returning to discover more of its stories and secrets.
