Wave Rock, York and Aboriginal Culture including Rustic Lunch

Leave Perth behind and head east into Western Australia’s wide-open Wheatbelt, where farming towns, red-dirt roads and big country skies set the tone for the day. You’ll stop in historic York for a morning tea break, roll through classic outback towns like Corrigin and Kondinin, and get a feel for everyday country life as you travel deeper into agricultural heartland.

The day really opens up at Hyden, where you’ll see the unforgettable Wave Rock rising from the landscape in sweeping, colour-banded curves. Along the way, you’ll also visit Hippo’s Yawn, wander through sacred Aboriginal sites and explore Mulka’s Cave, adding cultural depth to the journey. A rustic country-style lunch at the Wildflower Shop rounds out the experience, with time to choose a side stop such as the Wildlife Park, Lace Collection or Toy Soldier Museum. If you’re after a full day of striking landscapes, local stories and a proper taste of the outback, this one delivers.

Know before you go: - Bring comfortable walking shoes, as you’ll be getting on and off the coach at several stops. - Pack a hat, sunscreen and a water bottle, especially during warmer months in the Wheatbelt. - Morning tea in York is at your own expense, so you may want to bring some cash or a card. - This is a long day tour, with return to Perth expected at around 8:30 pm. - Be ready for a mix of sightseeing, light walking and cultural stops rather than a physically demanding hike.
