The Pinnacles at Nambung National Park in Western Australia were formed as a result of a change in the Australian climate.

The structures are a kind of iconic geological structure known as a karst .

They were created around 100,000 years ago during a particularly wet period in Australian climatic history, by the extreme amount of water actually causing rocks to dissolve.
