Some Bush Bashing

We spent the long weekend in the Hyden region. We decided it was a fairly equal distance for all parties to travel and we wanted to check out a bit of the Holland Track.

We did the obligatory Wave Rock visit, although we’ve never seen so many cars or people! There was a music festival, so we could hear the music while we looked around and walked from Wave Rock to Hippo’s Yawn. It was very scenic and there were a few pretty wildflowers to look at, not heaps though as it has been very dry.

A Hippo Yawning 
Mulka’s Cave was an interesting spot to visit. It was a short drive from Wave Rock and is the hiding place for Aboriginal legend Mulka where hand prints can be seen inside the cave.

The start of the Holland Track (well our starting point) was very easy and seemed like a well-maintained road. That was just the start however, and the stretch we covered was bumpy with big holes and gulleys and plenty of muddy puddles. There were chicken tracks for the more difficult or deep looking puddles, however overall it’s not for the light hearted. It was a really fun day filled with adventure!

We drove past a few dried salt lakes along the track which made nice photo opportunities. We stopped and got out to look at one and I started sinking and nearly lost my thong in the mud! It was very funny and fortunate we filled the water tank on the car!

Three wheelin’!!

It was also really lovely spending the evenings playing games and sitting drinking around the camp fire and I’m keen for more camping, and to do the whole Holland Track.
