Wave Rock, York, Wildflowers and Aboriginal Cultural Tour from Perth
First stop is the town of York in the Avon Valley. York is historic in that it was founded in 1831 and was the first inland European settlement in WA. You then reboard the air-conditioned coach and set out for the popular Hyden. Hyden is located 330 km east of Perth, and is the base to explore the natural formations, the most famous being Wave Rock. Before lunch you will visit Hippos Yawn, a spectacular rock formation. One look and you understand how it got the name. Lunch is taken at the Wildflower Shop. Then it's off to see the spectacular Wave Rock. Wave Rock is about 110 meters long and 15 meters high and really resembles a perfect surfers wave in the ocean. Many people wonder how wave rock was formed. Experts believe the feature has been formed by weathering and water erosion, which has undercut the base, leaving a rounded overhang. However it was formed it is absolutely stunning and certainly worth the visit.
There is a fascinating aboriginal legend associated with Mulkas Cave and how Mulka's handprints, on the walls of the cave, are higher than others of his tribe. Tour operates daily leaving Perth Sightseeing Centre at 8.00am and returning around 8:30pm. This is a long tour yet fresh and exciting. Truly a tour you will remember forever.
