You didn’t really think I was going to stop, did you?

Xanthorrhoea australis tree
This is a Xanthorrhoea australis – they’re all over the Western Australian bushland. I reckon the tree resembles the kids book character Grug – we picked up a few books many years ago when H was starting out reading. This is (probably) taken around Lake Leschenaultia. They’re everywhere, I tell you. Everywhere.

This is The Pinnacles. No photo I could take would do it justice. Just imagine driving on a road alongside bushland, then you turn off the main highway and head up a smaller road, where you can get parked and suddenly find yourself in the above area. Cars can drive around The Pinnacles (it’s a huge area), and it’s quite easily walkable too if you stick to the main paths. Here’s a Google Maps link.
