Wave Rock

Monday August 15^th

Albany to Hyden is a very pleasant drive up through the Stirling Ranges NP, we had a few stops for photos and coffee from the thermos. The ranges were covered with cloud, but some how it added to the beauty of them.

 WA has lots of “up” towns or town names ending in “up”. Different to our other states. One town we passed through yesterday is named Pingrup. In one town we saw an authentic working wind mill.

We settled into the Wave Rock Caravan Park and booked for two nights, leaving it until tomorrow to walk to the attractions. Wave Rock is a short walk from the park. We can stay hooked up to the power and water, giving John a whole day’s break from driving.

It rained in the late afternoon and into the night.

Tuesday August 16^th

This morning was very chilly but fine. John and I headed over to the car park and along the track and there was Wave Rock, just as we had seen it in the brochures but so much more inspiring. We walked under the “wave” and later I took a photo of John “surfing “, a fun photo. John went to the top of the rock via steps and the rock face, I decided to just walk around the bottom.

Later, a 20 min walk to “Hippo’s Yawn,” another rock attraction, of course more photos!

We had a nice cappuccino in the café opposite the park then spent a quiet afternoon in the motor home. I did some cooking and John printed out his photos. He went for another walk after lunch to The Breakers, large rocks broken away from Wave Rock.
