Leisure Itinerary 📅 Itinerary Day 1: Depart from Perth and have lunch at the Lobster Factory. Then, head to Pinnacles and check into your hotel in Geraldton. You can eat out or buy something to cook back home. The IGA supermarket closes at 8:30 PM. Day 2: Depart for the Pink Lake, Kalbarri's Glass Bridge, and Window of the World. Take your time and take photos. Return to Geraldton for your nighttime stay. Enjoy stargazing. Day 3: After breakfast, stroll through Geraldton and check in. Then, go sandboarding in Lancelin, which closes at 4:30 PM. Lunch: Grab a McMuffin in Geraldton or buy bread in a nearby town! After sandboarding, grab a bite in Lancelin (there's a good handmade plaza there) and return to Perth! Remember: Avoid driving in the suburbs at dusk or at night. You can easily run into adorable kangaroos. Kangaroos in Western Australia are incredibly strong and can cause your car to stall or cause an accident. Try to avoid this! Also, remember to download offline maps, as everyone will be so focused that your phone will have no signal! 🏨 Accommodation Recommendation: The Mantra Hotel in Geraldton. I stayed in a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit with free parking, right by the marina. 🍴 Food Recommendation: After sandboarding, try Mama Mia Pizza & Cafe Express, then head back to Perth for some Vietnamese pho in Moni. 📌 Practical Tip: Avoid driving in the suburbs at dusk or at night, as it's easy to run into adorable kangaroos. Western Australia's kangaroos are incredibly strong and can stall your car or cause an accident! Try to avoid this! Also, remember to download offline maps, as everyone will be so focused that your phone will have no signal!

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.
