The Pinnacles Desert Loi
The Pinnacles Desert is one of Australia 's best known landscapes. Here, thousands of huge limestone pillars are scattered in the yellow sand. It is located in Nambung National park which has many features such as beautiful beaches, coastal dune systems, shady groves of tuart trees and one of the best things that occurs during August and October is that the place bursts into flowers creating a wonderful memories for tourists.
The
Nambung is an Aboriginal word that means crooked.
There are animals that live here but they are mostly nocturnal.
However it is normal to see western grey kangaroos, emus and many sorts of reptiles and birds around the stones.
My chosen site The Pinnacles Desert fulfils requirements 7 and 8 in the UNESCO natural criteria.
These were 2 requirements my site fulfilled:
7. To contain superlative natural phenomena or areas of exceptional natural beauty and aesthetic importance.
8. To be outstanding examples representing major stages of earth's history, including the record of life, significant on-going geological processes in the development of landforms, or significant geomorphic or physio graphic features.
5 Features worth preserving:
- Limestone Pillars
- Yellow sand
- Flowers
- Limestone Caves
- Animals
If this site is World Hertiage listed it would have more tourists coming, it would be under better management, it would have better protection for the place and it could be an opportunity for people to find jobs there.
