Day 4 Albany – Hyden

A city tour of Albany and the magnificent panorama view from Mt. Clarence overlooking King George Sound, where the first settlers landed in 1826, let you realize the importance of this town to Western Australia. Afterwards we will be exploring “Natural Bridge and The Gap” in Torndirrup National Park. The tour continues with a drive through farmland in the Stirling Range. The many different varieties of plants originating in the Stirling Range are mainly due to its insular location. This mountain range is a climatic island and the plain is typical for its dry and warm weather conditions. Late afternoon we will arrive in Hyden.

Accommodation: Wave Rock Motel, Hyden (Breakfast)

Day 5 Hyden – Perth

After breakfast, we will visit the famous and astounding Wave Rock. There is enough time to explore and learn about the story of this unbelievable natural wonder. Afterwards we drive through the wide-stretched West Australian wheat belt to reach York at about lunchtime. A quaint short stroll in the oldest inland settlement of W.A. will take you back to the time of the first settlers. The old well-maintained and renovated houses boasting their original facades bring forth still today the atmosphere of the pioneer’s time. Continue to Mundaring Weir. The dam was built together with the pipeline according to the idea and plans of Charles Yelverton O’Connor as part of the Goldfields water supply system. It thus brought the precious water to Kalgoorlie. The Goldfields Pipeline is a major engineering achievement. Cross the dam wall on foot and enjoy the fantastic view. After an enjoyable travel back to Perth, this tour concludes at your hotel.

Accommodation: Hotel DoubleTree by Hilton Perth, Northbridge (Breakfast)

Day 6 Perth – Pinnacles – Perth

After pick up from your hotel we are leaving Perth headed north along the coast via Yanchep National Park towards Cervantes, the entrance to Nambung National Park.

There is ample time to explore the area and to take some colourful photos from these amazing formations. These impressions of lights and colours will stay with you for many years to come. Our way back leads along the coast towards Lancelin. This small fishing and tourist town is well known for its lobster industry and the biggest white sand dunes of Western Australia. We will enjoy these mountains of sand. In season this whole region, rich in fauna and flora, is in spectacular flower. On early evening we arrive back in Perth where this tour ends at your hotel.
