Even though we have a bit of time left here in the land down under, we are getting a little stir crazy making sure that we see everything that we can and want to while we are here.
Late last night we decided to make a day trip north (remember, we went south to the wine country last time?) to visit a quaint little town, Lancelin, for lunch, and then drove further north to visit The Pinnacles in Nambung National Park.
Lancelin. Some of the whitest sand dunes we have ever seen.
We headed north, jamming to the rotation of, oh, about 10 songs on the radio that are continuously. on. REPEAT.
Hell-oooo amazingness.
The Pinnacles are limestone formations in Nambung National Park. Different theories have emerged as to the formation of these beauties, but bottom line, a 4km hike will walk you through this wonder.
It was almost like being on another planet. The sand was the consistency of cornmeal and sesame seeds. ((We were starting to get a bit hungry...))

Aaaaannnddd the obligatory selfie because there weren't many options for picture-takers.
How thankful were we that we didn't come during the Australian summer? It got quite toasty in this dessert and we can only imagine how hot it would be when it's actually supposed to be hot in the summer?
Return trip. Repeat of those 10 radio songs. Fist pumping. Life chats. Carsickness.
We're glad we are home. Celebrated with homemade burritos and fresh salsa from the local market. If you're wondering if our withdrawals from tex-mex have set in the answer is YES.
Thankful for opportunities to see pretty things like these.
Even more thankful that 8 bananas don't cost $11 at home.
