Lesueur NP
The Pinnacles
The day started with the battle of the journal writing. We then drove out to Lesueur National Park where a one-way 18.5km loop road takes you through the park. The area is home to one of the most diverse range of wildflower, with more than 900 different species. The best time to view them of course is in spring but there were still a bit of colour around. Rick was finding it hard to contain his excitement! We stopped at the Wilson Lookout and did the 2.1 km bushwalk opting out of the 4 km walk to the summit of Mt Lesueur. It was actually lovely doing a walk in temperatures below 35 degrees. From there we drove to the crayfishing town of Cervantes and had lunch at the foreshore park. 17km from the town is Namburg National Park where rising mysteriously from the sand dunes are thousands of limestone pillars. We had a look through the Discovery Centre and did the 1.2km walk through the Pinnacles Desert. We had a good game of 'hide and seek' and then did the loop drive. Back at the van Cooper was excited to find some other children to play with.
