Just a 20-minute drive south from Cervantes transports you to a different world formed over millions of years – the moonscape of the Pinnacles Desert in Nambung National Park. Enter the Pinnacles Desert Discovery Centre to discover its mysteries, history and habitat, and hit the walking tracks and drive trails for a closer look at the thousands of limestone spires rising eerily out of the yellow desert sands. Return to Cervantes for a fresh seafood lunch at Cervantes’ Lobster Shack before continuing north to one of the most important reserves for flora conservation in Western Australia – Lesueur National Park. Many of the 820-plus flora species in this 27,000 hectare park are found nowhere else in the world. Follow the short loop road off Cockleshell Gully Road and look out for honey bush, cork mallee, propeller banksia, large magenta starflowers and the lesueur hakeas. It’s just a short drive from here to the popular holiday spot of Jurien Bay for dinner and your overnight stay.
