A Nice Nice Outing

This weekend I went to the Pinnacles with Anna, Rebecca and Amanda's friends who are visiting from the States. The Pinnacles are north of Perth on the same road we drove back from Spring Break on, we just didn't have time to stop and visit. Nobody really knows how the Pinnacles are formed. Mystery! They are periodically covered and revealed by the shifting dunes. Check them out...super cool!



On the way back we stopped at Yanchep National Park and took a tour of Crystal Cave. That was also super cool. It was really shallow so there were all these tree roots creeping down to get to the ground water. The ground water level is getting lower and lower though, so they had to pump water in to protect this little critter that lives in the cave. Its some sort of bug I don't remember that is endangered.



There were also kangaroos and koalas roaming freely. Such strange creatures Australia.
So for those of you who don't know, I'll be home in a little under two weeks. Can't wait to get a little Northwest lovin and lots of family time!
