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 existed for thousands of years, but they have only been discovered and noticed recently.
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, revealing the sharp stone towers in the north. Meanwhile, the winds pulled sand back to cover the stone towers in the south.

Over time, the limestone towers here are covered by sand again 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, revealing 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. Locals also often drive here to enjoy the peaceful, cool atmosphere every weekend.
