The Pinnacles
The Pinnacles: We picked up the rental car. A Hyundai Getz - quite a neat car although the boot room was limited and it smelt of cigarette smoke which we couldn't get rid of. This along with having to put it on Credit Card instead of cash at the end, which wasn't explained when we booked it, thereby costing us 1.5% more for the rental, was annoying.
We have emailed Eurocar a complaint but expect little as usual.
We drove north to the Pinnacles. When we went to pay go in the woman on the booth asked to use our pen as she has just started her shift and they hadn't left her a pen. We said she could have ours as we had been picking up free ones everytime we cashed a cheque at the NAB. So she charged us the concession entry fee!!
The Pinnacles were well worth the trip. Similar to the Mountains of the Moon we saw in South America but better as the colours are incredible. It is only a few K's around and we thought how long would that take. But you had to to get out every 2/300 metres to take in the scene before you.
