WAVE ROCK - 1 Full Day Wave Rock York & Aboriginal Culture
Dari
Highlights
Journey through Western Australia’s wheatbelt to Hyden – home of Wave Rock,
truly one of Australia’s most incredible natural landforms. Leaving Perth we
head through the Perth Hills and escarpment and enter farming country. Heading
east, we enjoy morning tea (own expense) at historic York, the first township
founded in the Avon Valley. From there we travel the Wheatbelt Highway through
the agricultural towns of Corrigin and Kondinin, through outback farming
country. We are given a glimpse of Australian country life on passing by the
infamous Dog Cemetery, a shrine to man’s best friend and an integral part of
farming life.
Then visit Hippo’s Yawn, a rock formation which resembles a hippo yawning. We
then break for an Aussie country style lunch at the Wildflower Shop. Whilst
here, visit either a Wildlife Park, view a unique Antique Lace Collection –
even featuring lace from Lady Diana, or visit the amazing Toy Soldier Museum.
Then we move on to see the spectacular prehistoric rock formation of Wave Rock
and sacred Aboriginal sites. Leaving Wave Rock we visit Mulka’s Cave.
We return to Perth with a comfort stop on the way, arriving at approximately
at 8:30pm.

Australian Pinnacle Tours
The journey was very long -- 5+ hours each way. Fortunately, we ride in a big bus with on-board wifi (which doesn't always work) and power points and comfy seats. The driver/guide was helpful, friendly, cheerful and very knowledgeable and tried his best to make the journey less arduous and boring. The lunch was simple but good enough. The side visit to the small zoo next to the restaurant was a good break. Only thing is it would have been great if there were more photo taking opportunities along the way. We spent 1 hour at the Wave Rock which is nice and worthwhile after such a long drive.
