The experience
The tour leaves from most centrally located Perth hotels and heads east through the Darling Range, also called the Perth hills, passing charming townships, national parks and farmland. In York, the first inland settlement of Western Australia, you stop to walk along Avon Terrace, which displays Victorian and Federation architecture, and visit the York Town Hall and Theatre and the suspended bridge over the Avon River.
From there the route cuts through the wheatbelt region, a landscape of sleepy towns and vast colourful farmland. You make brief stops at the Corrigin Dog Cemetery and at Statues Lake in Kondinin, a surreal setting of native trees and a salty lake with colours that shift with the seasons (though the lake may be completely dry during the dry season). The drive takes a full 12 hours, and throughout it you travel in a fully air-conditioned vehicle with a professional driver-guide who provides live commentary and individual bottled water.
Wave Rock itself is the centrepiece: a prehistoric rock formation that rises 15 meters high and stretches 200 metres long, shaped unmistakably like a giant breaking ocean wave. You stop for photos and a walk around the formation, then make a brief stop at Hippo's Yawn, a small cave nearby whose entrance resembles a hippopotamus yawning. The tour includes pickup and drop-off from your Perth hotel, and commentary is available in English, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.
