Hyden - Wave Rock

Choosing to drive to Hyden from Albany was a great last minute decision and one that we are very glad we made.  The drive took us through Stirling Range National Park and the salt lakes around Lake Grace.  We were amongst the wheat belt and saw many fields swaying in the wind.  Some harvested other not.  It was a really interesting drive and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

We arrived at Hyden in the late afternoon.  Parked up the car then headed out for the walks at Wave Rock.  The caravan park is nestled at the base of Wave Rock so it took us all of 3minutes to walk in.  The kids road the wave and enjoyed looking around.  It is an large beautiful rock that takes your breath away.  I really enjoyed our stroll at the base of her and above.  The view over the valley from the top was very pretty.

We continued our stroll around the area and did a short 2km round trip to Hippo's Yawn.  Another very cool rock formation.  How it came to be is unusual but a real fantastic site.  Oh so funny.

 

 























Sunset was also pretty over Wave Rock and the distract looked very sunlit and welcoming also.

It was a quick one night stay in Hyden and then off to Esperance.  I got up early to take another walk around Wave Rock and found the Breakers.  So name because the wave has not quite broken and some unusual rocks.  It was lovely wondering around the area in the quiet still of the morning.  It was very peaceful indeed.  I arrived back to campsite with the kids racing around playing and enjoying the beautiful morning in their kid kind of way.  I love their energy.  I wish I had it also.
