Pinnacles - a collection of strange mounds on the ground. At first they appear to resemble termite mounds, but they are not!

Natures Window - what a pretty view through a hole in a rock.

Stromatolites - related to the oldest living organism on earth! Apparently if they are covered in water (high tide) and you watch them closely you can see them bubbling oxygen.

Monkey Mia - famous place for watching the dolphins. Routine brings a few of them in to shore where they are given a set amount of fish, but not enough that they won't have to hunt for themselves.
