Nambung National Park, on the southwest coast of Western Australia, is about 160km south of Perth, the capital of Western Australia, and covers about 192.7 square kilometers.
Nambung National Park, with its peculiar West Australian-specific terrain, contains minaret deserts and spectacular limestone minarets. Nanbang is an Australian indigenous language meaning bending or winding the canal of the Bon River into the area. The most popular are The Pinnacles, where thousands of giant lime pillars rise from the flowing yellow sand, these seashell-like spikes that, after millions of years of wind and rain, seem to tell the greatness and wonder of nature.
The coastal town of Cervantes is the northern gateway to Nambung National Park, while the dune town of Lancelin is about 50km south of the national park.
