Wave Rock, Historic York and Corrigin Discovery
Meet your tour guide as you receive your complimentary pick-up from your Perth city accommodation and begin your journey eastward.
Travel through the historic townships of Guildford and Midland, then continue through the picturesque regions of Mundaring and Sawyers Valley, soaking up spectacular views of the Darling Mountain Ranges along the way as you drive to picturesque York.
Arrive in the historic town of York, characterised by dainty cottages and colourful seasonal rose gardens. Enjoy a walk along the majestic Avon River and the famous swinging bridge.
Leave York and drive past the large farms and huge machinery used in this wheat belt area for which Australia is famous.
Visit the wheat belt town of Corrigin and its unique Dog Cemetery, dedicated to man's best friend. Dogs play a vital role with farmers in the rural regions of Australia.
Arrive in Hyden to marvel at the iconic Wave Rock, a huge granite block resembling an ocean wave in the middle of the desert, with colourful etchings believed to be 2.63 billion years old. According to geologists, Wave Rock was once submerged under the ocean, and over centuries the receding waters left marks on the rock that can still be seen today. Please note that the closest ocean waters are now almost 250 km away from Wave Rock.
Enjoy a light, freshly cooked lunch in Hyden, followed by an Eco-Walk up Wave Rock to soak up the natural landscape and the wonder of the surrounding countryside.

Drive through picturesque fruit orchards on the leisurely journey back to Perth.
Enjoy the seasonal wildflowers of the area, which are in season from around August to October. Travel back to Perth through fruit orchards and other local towns.
