Wave Rock, York, Wildflowers and Aboriginal Culture - Perth

Journey through the wheat belt region to Wave Rock, one of Australia’s incredible natural monuments. Visit the historic township of York and view other sign.

Leaving Perth we head through the Perth Hills and escarpment to 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. As we drive through the rolling farmlands, get a glimpse of Australian country life.

We then stop briefly at the infamous Dog Cemetery, a shrine to man’s best friend and an integral part of farming life. Travelling on to the Wildflower Shop in Hyden, we break for an Aussie country style lunch. Whilst here, visit either the Wildlife Park, view a unique Antique Lace Collection 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 Hippo’s Yawn and Mulka’s Cave.

We return to Perth with a stop at a remote country town for a light afternoon tea and snack (own expense) arriving approximately at 8.30pm.
