Our last leg of this part of the journey. 7.30am departure – 16.00 arrival.

A quick 725km dash across country, taking in the very very quiet back roads of outback WA.

Our main reason for choosing this route was to stop off in the local area of Hyden.

The town is about 290 ESE of Perth.

Why here you may ask. Wave Rock (click for external link – new tab)

Wave Rock is a natural rock formation that is shaped like a tall breaking ocean wave. The “wave” is about 15 m (49 ft) high and around 110 m (360 ft) long. It forms the north side of a solitary hill, which is known as “Hyden Rock”. Day 64 – Esperance to Fremantle
