Enjoy a one-day getaway to some of Western Australia’s most impressive natural wonders as you leave city life behind.

Take an after-lunch stroll along the Lake Thetis boardwalk to view some of the world's oldest known living fossils known as Stromatolites. In a region abundant with flora and fauna, we’ll wander through a kaleidoscopic of wildflowers, including the likes of banksias, bottlebrush, heath, grass trees, and kangaroo paws; all bursting with life, when in season.Â
With our lungs full of fresh sea air, it’s time to journey onto the Nambung National Park to witness the remarkable Pinnacles desert. Made up of shells, the Pinnacles date back millions of years to a time when the land was beneath the sea. Thousands of limestone pillars rise eerily out of the desert, we will visit the visitor information centre to learn all about these structures before walking a few hundred metres to get up close to them.
