Hyden (Wave Rock)

Today we ventured inland to Hyden which is known as the wheat belt area of Western Australia and Wave Rock. On the way we stopped at Kulin where they have the Tin Horse Highway, along the 15km stretch the farmers from east to west compete against each other with the biggest and most original sculptured horse. This is all done for the local horse meet held the first weekend in October each year.

Further along the road to Hyden they also have sculptures in their town, which are very clever as well. They tell a story about Hyden’s history. About 5km out of town you’ll find Wave Rock, It is a great sight to see, a massive rock like a wave, the colours through it and the striped pattern are fantastic. Walk further along and you come across Hippo’s Yawn, as like Wave Rock all you see is a hippo’s mouth yawning, it actually looks quite surreal. On to Raventhorp to camp for the night.
