The crowning glory of Ben Boyd National Park however has to be the Pinnacles – an eroded two-toned claystone cliff.

It’s amazing how colourful the clay was in contrast to the bleached white layer underneath and the blue of the sea and sky. The white layer was due to bleaching by groundwater many moons ago.

Despite this being a prime tourist attraction, we didn’t encounter another soul while we were there. That’s the beauty of the Sapphire Coast.
