The desert is covered with thousands of strangely shaped stone pillars, an unprecedented spectacular scene.

Nambung National Park, Australia has a sandbar with thousands of weathered limestone pillars rising up called the Pinnacles Desert, attracting many tourists to come and enjoy every day.

This park allows cars inside. Thanks to that, when visiting, people do not have to walk too much like when visiting other historical sites.

These natural limestone structures have been around for thousands of years, but they have only recently been discovered and noticed.

According to scientists in this country, the Pinnacles Desert was formed about 25,000-30,000 years ago, mainly due to winds blowing from the south, sweeping away the sand layer, revealing the sharp stone towers in the north. Meanwhile, the winds pulled sand to cover the stone towers in the south.

Over time, the limestone towers here are covered again by sand and then washed away. This cycle repeats itself, creating strange rock tower shapes.

After the sea receded, minerals from the shells remained. Over time, the sea winds further eroded the surrounding sand and exposed the natural limestone pillars.

There are many limestone pillars ranging in size from small, medium to quite large, each pillar is usually about 3.5m high, with a jagged, sharp surface.

However, whenever there is a strong wind, sightseeing here will be hindered by sandstorms that continuously blow into people and faces.

Currently, this desert welcomes more than 250,000 visitors each year. Local people also often drive here to enjoy the peaceful, cool atmosphere every weekend.
