Outback towns and places

I have just got back from a job a couple of hundred ks past Hyden in WA.
We have been past this place about a dozen times and I decided that it was about time we took a detour and "smelled the rosses" so to speak.
Quite an impressive rock structure.
Wave Rock ,Hyden :ok:

Thanks for sharing those Trout.

So you weren't the one shaking the ground yesterday at Koorda, you were further south.

Funny isn't it, in the back of my mind I had Wave Rock being somewhere in SA. I was way off the track.

I can't afford to go to the pub, my coin purchases make sure of that :angel:

I've worked it out where I got the wave rock impression from. In 1986 when I was in SA on hols I recall seeing mention of wave rock. I didn't have time to go there and always wished I had. I thought it was the one you have pictured Trout (remembered Mike and Mal showing yours on tele when I was younger), but it turns out to be Arkaroo which they refer to as wave rock at times.
Here's the Flinders Ranges one.

When you get to wave rock, don't forget to visit Hippo's Yawn as well.

The wall is actually not for your safety, but to act as a rainfall catchment, and directs the rainwater in to the storage area.

"The wall is actually not for your safety, but to act as a rainfall catchment, and directs the rainwater in to the storage area."
Puny humans and their safety fences. I'm joking, a bit, but for me humanity is somehow irrelevant in comparison to this.

Some great pics there Trout, Kel & Steve.

Must see if I can find one I have on a similar theme.
