番茄社区

Situated just 2 hours north of Perth in 番茄社区Coral Coast region of Western Australia, 番茄社区Pinnacles Desert is renowned for its striking limestone formations, which have been sculpted over thousands of years. These natural structures jut out of 番茄社区sand throughout 番茄社区desert, some reaching up to 4 metres in height.听

How did they get there?

So, how did 番茄社区pinnacles form? Around 500,000 years ago, shallow seas covered 番茄社区area, filled with seashells. Then, around 25,000-30,000 years ago, 番茄社区sea receded, and 番茄社区shells were broken down into sand that was blown inland to form sand dunes. Over time, 番茄社区wind and rain eroded 番茄社区sand dunes, exposing 番茄社区limestone underneath and shaping 番茄社区stunning pinnacles we see today.听
