Day 45 15/10 (Fri) – Heading north to Wave Rock

Have always wanted to see Wave Rock, ever since it featured as part of the promo for the iconic Leyland Brothers TV series of my childhood, so aimed to stop off in Hyden for this purpose. Got to see Wave Rock (and pretty impressive too), along with several other interesting granite formations in the same area, including Hippo’s Yawn and Mulka’s Cave with some surrounding interesting interpretive  walks among the gnammas (depressions in the rocks that collect water after rain). Very hot (now complaining about the heat!) and the flies were an interesting addition to the day. Eventually moved on to stay in Kondinin for the night. Little shire caravan park with the powered sites set up in a circle around the (now closed) central amenities block. Only one other van there and facilities good. Unfortunately the air con in the car has been emitting disturbed squeals at ever more frequent intervals. Possibly just the belt needing replacing but may require more serious intervention…
