Over time, coastal winds removed the surrounding sand leaving the pillars exposed.

The Pinnacles remained relatively unknown to most Australians until the 1960s, when the area was added to Nambung National Park. The area receives over 250,000 visitors a year. The Pinnacles were featured in the musical number "Ye Jaan Le Le" in the 1997 Indian film, Daud, starring Sanjay Dutt and Urmila Matondkar.]]> Australia Fri, 17 Jun 2011 05:34:24 +0000 ]]> Australia Fri, 17 Jun 2011 05:26:32 +0000 Australia - Rottnest Island Western Australia - Rottnest Island.]]> Australia Sun, 15 Jan 2006 05:06:26 +0000 National Museum Of Australia Bright orange and curling overhead like a roller-coaster, the loop is the most visible part of the Uluru line, a major sculptural feature that unfurls across Acton Peninsula. The line begins at the Museum as the entrance canopy and sheltered walkway. It then swoops up into the loop, a great curve 30 metres high, before continuing as a wide red footpath past the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies. The Uluru line ends physically in a curled concrete ramp that, conceptually, continues north-west to Uluru (Ayers Rock).]]> Australia Thu, 16 Jun 2011 17:55:56 +0000 Wave Rock, near Hyden in Western Australia. Wave Rock is a natural rock formation near the small town of Hyden in Western Australia. It derives its name from the fact that it is shaped like a large, smooth wave. It should be pointed out that the shape of the rock is not caused by a wave phenomenon. Instead, its rounded wave-like shape has been formed by weathering and water erosion, which has undercut the base, leaving a rounded overhang. The rock itself is about 15 meters high, approximately 110 metres long, and consists mainly of granite. The vertical black lines are caused by an algae and water pouring down the cliff after the heavy rains during the wet season.]]> Australia Thu, 16 Jun 2011 17:47:40 +0000 Granite Arch, Girraween National Park, Australia Girraween National Park, Australia]]> Australia Thu, 16 Jun 2011 17:45:35 +0000 National Museum Of Australia As designed by architect Howard Raggatt (design architect and design director for the project), the museum building is based on a theme of knotted ropes, symbolically bringing together the stories of Australians. The architects stated "We liked to think that the story of Australia was not one, but many tangled together. Not an authorized version but a puzzling confluence; not merely the resolution of difference but its wholehearted embrace."]]> Australia Thu, 16 Jun 2011 17:37:53 +0000
