The Humps, Mulka's Cave and more..... WA.

Mulka's cave story ...... Is the story of a very large indigenous man, who unfortunately was born cross eyed. He couldn't spear any animals  to eat, so he started to kill and eat children. When his mother told him off for his anti social behaviour, he killed his mother to. He lived in this cave until locals hunted him down!

Oh what's waiting for Steve?

Stunning area.

Splendid salt pool.

Dennis Collins constructed a 20 meter round and 6 meters deep swimming pool - like gypsum pond, whose buoyancy and therapeutic properties are greater than those of the dead sea. It is dramatically beautiful, being weightless and we had it all to ourselves.
























Wave Rock - Hyden. WA

Finally we get to see this magnificent rock........and many more rocks.......

Wave Rock is a granite cliff, is 15 metres high & 110 metres long. Its rounded like shape has been caused by weathering and water erosion, which has under cut the base and left a rounded overhang. In 1960 crystal's from Hyden Rock were dated as being 2700 million years old, amongst the oldest in Australia.
