  • Stay on designated walking paths to protect fragile desert formations and avoid unsafe terrain.
  • Do not touch, feed, or approach wildlife, including kangaroos and koalas, to keep both you and the animals safe.
  • No climbing or leaning on Pinnacles limestone structures—they are fragile and easily damaged.
  • Supervise children at all times, especially near wildlife and on sandy, uneven desert ground.
  • Be mindful in tasting venues—drink responsibly and follow cellar-door rules.

  • Walk the edges of Pinnacles fields first – You’ll often find fewer crowds and cleaner photo angles away from the main path.
  • Look out for emus on the drive – They’re sometimes spotted near the highway or park entry roads.
