We woke up early in Yanchep and were in our next stop, Lancelin, already at about 9AM. Despite the time we got our room. The hostel looked really empty. After a while of thinking we decided to drive directly to Nambung national park, more spesifically to the famous Pinnacle desert.

The first impression of the place was a little disappointing, since in the whole national park there was only one walking track, around 1,5km. It was also possible to drive a small loop in the desert with a car, which felt kinda touristy and lazy. So we took this little walk, which was rewarded with interesting looking pinnacles that came in all sizes and forms. In the local discovery center we tried to find out how they were formed, but in the end it turned out that nobody knows for sure.

After Nambung we came back to Lancelin and set our course on finding some restaurant. Lancelin appeared to us as a ghost town, with no one anywhere. Mostly filled with holiday houses that were empty at the moment there was nothing going on. We found some local bar with expensive pizza and settled with that.

The next day we did what we came to do in Lancelin – sandboarding! We hired a sandboard (the board with wax and spray for two hours 15$, not so bad) and headed to sand dunes just behind the town. We were not alone, there was a bunch of people already sandboarding and other bunch riding motorcycles and buggies. Luckily there was plenty of space on the dunes and we found our own perfect spot. First trials were miserable failures – the board did not slide at all despite waxing. Then we realized that the slope has to be steep, steeper that you would like at first. Then it was great fun!
