Your second link has a fascinating explanation of how the pinnacles were formed, if you enlarge the picture titled "Namburg National Park 1." They're believed to be natural formations, as opposed to those of Easter Island.

They look a lot like the Trona Pinnacles...

(This is where the Sha Ka Ree sequences of Star Trek 5: The Final Frontier were shot.)

Very cool place name.

Should be in a book title.

Harry Potter and the Pinnacles of Nambung?
