The Pinnacles, a series of colored sand cliffs on the east coast of Fraser Island, have been a significant contributor to the island’s UNESCO World Heritage listing. These striking formations, developed over hundreds of thousands of years as minerals leached through the sand, showcase a remarkable palette of 72 different colors, predominantly reds and oranges. Visitors can marvel at the intricate layers and hues that paint the cliff faces, offering a vivid and unique natural spectacle. The Pinnacles stand as a testament to the island’s geological history and provide a captivating experience for those who explore this coastal wonder.
