And a good time was had by all!
At Hyden, we decided to stay in a cabin again as it was wet, windy and cold. As you can see we were well rugged up against the cold and wet.
Wave Rock is four kilometres out of Hyden, so we stayed at Wave Rock Cabins and Caravan Park. There is also a resort at the rock. Accommodation here is not cheap, neither is it exceptional. But after the initial shock of the rawness of the place we found that there is much more to see at Hyden besides Wave Rock. The rock is just how I imagined it to be. Other amazing rock formations included Hippos Yawn, (don't you think it looks just like a hippo?) and Mulka's Cave.

There are also lots of walks in the area of Wave Rock and its surrounds.
Other attractions which we visited over the two days included the Wildflower Shoppe and Country Kitchen (which serves the yummiest Devonshire Teas), Pioneer Town, The Toy Soldier Collection, Wave Rock Wildlife Park and The Lace Place.
The Lace Place is an extensive collection of lace articles (previously owned by Margaret Blackburn) with some pieces dating from the sixteen hundreds and include handmade lace, bobbin lace, knitted and crocheted lace.

Following are my two most favourite inhabitants of the Wildlife Park.
On Saturday 15th May we left Hyden and made our way to Perth. We stopped at Corrigin for a picnic lunch and York for afternoon tea doing a bit more sightseeing on the way, namely at the rabbit proof fence and an amazing lake called Pink Lake both in the Shire of Quairading.
