— What You Can Expect —

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.
