What to expect
• Arrive in the historic Town of York, characterized by dainty cottages and colorful rose gardens and enjoy a walk along the majestic Avon River and the famous swinging bridge.
• Drive past the large farms and huge machinery used in this wheat belt area, for which our country is so famous for.
• Visit the wheat belt town of Corrigin with its unique Dog Cemetery, dedicated to man’s best friend. Dogs play a vital and important role with farmers in the rural regions of Australia.
• Arrive in Hyden to marvel at the iconic Wave Rock, a huge granite block resembling the shape of an Ocean wave – in the middle of the desert which has colorful etchings believed to be 2.63 billion years old. The Wave rock according to geologists was at one time under the ocean and over centuries the receding waters left marks on the rock, which can be seen even today. Please note presently the closest ocean waters are almost 250 km’s away at the closest point.

• Explore Hippo’s Yawn Cave – a rock resembling a yawning African hippopotamus, that stands at over 12 meters tall.
• Pass through picturesque fruit orchards on the leisurely journey back to Perth.
• Enjoy the seasonal wildflowers of the area, in season from mid-July to October.
• After a wonderful day out travel back to Perth through fruit orchards & other local towns. This tour concludes either at your accommodation or you can choose to be dropped off at another location within Perth CBD.

It was an incredible experience we've ever had. The tour guide guided us very well throughout the full day tour and he told us many information about the Wave Rock which was very interesting.

However, nobody did the pickup for me and the phone number of Aussie Perth Tour wasn’t working. How can I be charged for the tour fee?

Friends and I visited were on this tour on 14 November 2022. Our tour guide Kia was superb. He was very knowledgeable, kind, friendly and professional. He offered local Tim Tams and mint milk so that we could have a taste of local food. He volunteered himself to help with photo taken and even laid on ground to take better shots. He understands our needs and always allows sufficient time to visit each element while managing schedule. In order to keep us entertained, he was telling some interesting local stories and introduced some Western Aus music on this long trip. He also keeps seeking ways to improve any services for future guests. He was very impressive. We had a small hiccup with arrangement. The Aussis Perth Tour was very helpful in resolving the issue. I would recommend the Aussis Perth Tour to anyone who wants to see wave rock.York was lovely, Wave Rock not surrounded by sand as I first thought but great to be able to walk round. Driver very hospitable. All in all a very productive day. Thank you Viator staff
