Lancelin to Cervantes: Nambung National Park

The main road trip attraction on the Lancelin to Cervantes leg of the drive, however, is Nambung National Park. One of the most famous Western Australian national parks, Nambung is home to the Pinnacles Desert, where a series of bizarre rock formations jut out of the sand. It is often called a moonscape, and walking between the rocks, taking photos, is a great way of spending an hour or two.
