Wave Rock

I stayed up late last night watching the Deadwood movie. It was OK. It has the best final line ever though.

Consequently I got up pretty late. Around 9:30. I put a hell of a lot of oil on my chain, packed up and left. The oil did seem to fix the problem. I guess the rain over the past week had washed the oil away.

I found a different way out to Wave Rock. I went via Pingrup on a route that took me past a lot of lakes. Amazingly, they were all pink! Every one of them!

I stopped for petrol and while filling up I found a lighter. I tend to lose mine a lot so I picked it up and was about to test it out when I realised that could be fatal.

I got to Hyden at about 2pm and came to the caravan park. It is cheaper than I expected and includes entry to Wave Rock. It's only a couple of hundred metres away. I can see the top of it from here. It is an impressive formation but it is overwhelmingly a rock. It's one small section of a huge granite mound.

I took some photos and then went down to the hippos yawn. It is also a rock, with a hole in it. It does in fact look like a hippo yawning. So much so that when I got there it made me yawn. That sounds like I'm saying I thought it was boring, but it actually did make me yawn!

Now I'm back at my camp. The sites have artificial grass on them. I must say, so long as my pegs don't mess it up too much, artificial grass should be compulsory if there isn't real grass around. So much cleaner and more comfortable. I'm about to go up on top of wave rock for sunset. I have no data here and the wifi is atrocious so I can't upload all of my excellent photos.
