Escape the bustling city of Perth and embark on an extraordinary adventure through the breathtaking Darling Mountain Ranges, where nature's grandeur meets the charm of historical rural townships. Our tour is a window to the vastness of Aussie farmlands and a date with geological wonder.

Your adventure begins with a complimentary pickup from your city accommodation in Perth. As we journey eastward, you'll be transported through time and landscapes. Traverse through the historical gems of Guildford, Midland, and the picturesque regions of Mundaring and Sawyers Valley. The awe-inspiring Darling Mountain Ranges accompany you on this scenic drive to the idyllic town of York.

Arriving in York, you'll step into a town characterized by dainty cottages and ever-changing rose gardens. Stroll along the majestic Avon River and cross the iconic swinging bridge, all while immersing yourself in the town's rich history.

York behind, our journey takes us past vast farms and the colossal machinery that drives the wheat belt area, making our country famous. Our next stop is Corrigin, home to a unique Dog Cemetery, a touching dedication to man's best friend. Discover how these loyal companions play a pivotal role in the lives of farmers in rural Australia.

Hyden welcomes us with the iconic Wave Rock, a monumental granite formation resembling an ocean wave right in the heart of the desert. This geological marvel bears etchings believed to be a staggering 2.63 billion years old. According to geologists, this very rock was once submerged beneath the ocean, and the marks left by receding waters still adorn it. It's hard to believe that the closest ocean waters are now nearly 250 kilometres away.

Enjoy a light, freshly cooked lunch at your leisure in Hyden, followed by an Eco-Walk up the Wave Rock. As you soak in the natural landscape, you'll be struck by the mesmerizing beauty of the surrounding countryside.

Our adventure continues as we explore Hippo's Yawn Cave, a colossal rock formation that resembles a yawning African hippopotamus, standing over 12 meters tall. This rock served as a traditional shelter for the local people in the past.

As we make our way back to Perth, you'll drive through picturesque fruit orchards, indulging in the beauty of the local landscape. In season, from August to October, the area boasts seasonal wildflowers, painting the surroundings with vibrant colours.

Our journey concludes either at your accommodation in Perth, ensuring a seamless return to your lodgings, or you can choose to be dropped off at another location within the vibrant heart of Perth's CBD.

This tour promises an unforgettable blend of history, nature, and exploration that will leave you with lasting memories of Western Australia's hidden treasures.
