— What You Can Expect —
Journey through Western Australia’s Wheatbelt to Hyden, home of Wave Rock and
truly one of Australia’s most incredible natural landforms. Leaving Perth,
you'll head through the Perth Hills and escarpment and enter the farming
country. Heading east, you will enjoy morning tea (at your own expense) at
historic York, the first township founded in the Avon Valley. From there,
travel the Wheatbelt Highway through the agricultural towns of Corrigin and
Kondinin and through outback farming country, giving you a glimpse of
Australian country life. Pass 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. You
will then break for an Aussie country-style lunch at the Wildflower Shop.
Whilst here, visit either a Wildlife Park to view a unique Antique Lace
Collection, which even features lace from Lady Diana, or visit the amazing Toy
Soldier Museum. Then move on to see the spectacular prehistoric rock formation
of Wave Rock and sacred Aboriginal sites. Leaving Wave Rock, visit Hippo’s
Yawn and Mulka’s Cave.

and snack (at your own expense) before safely arriving at your drop-off point

It was generally great
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.
