Journey through Western Australia's Wheatbelt to Hyden – home of Wave Rock, truly one of Australia's most incredible natural landforms.
Leaving Perth, head through the Perth Hills and Darling Escarpment and enter farming country. Heading east, stop in at the historic town of York, the first township founded in the Avon Valley. Enjoy free time to explore and grab a coffee (at own expense).
From there travel the Wheatbelt Highway through the agricultural towns of Corrigin and Kondinin, through outback farming country. Get a glimpse of Australian country life by passing 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 that resembles a hippo yawning. Break for an Aussie country-style lunch at the Wildflower Shoppe and Cafe. After lunch, visit a Wildlife Park, view a unique Antique Lace Collection – even featuring lace from Lady Diana's wedding dress - 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, head next to Mulka's Cave and learn about the Aboriginal legend of Mulka. Return to Perth with a comfort stop on the way, arriving back in Perth in the evening.
