About Nambung National Park
Nambung National Park is a national park in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, 200 kilometres (120 mi) northwest of the state capital Perth, and 17 kilometres (11 mi) south of the small coastal town of Cervantes. The park contains the Pinnacles Desert which is an area with thousands of limestone formations called pinnacles. The park derives its name from an indigenous Australian word possibly meaning crooked or winding. The word was used in 1938 when naming the Nambung River which flows into the park and disappears into a cave system within the limestone.
