Tastes of the Southern Valleys
The Ferguson Valley is a beautiful place to visit in the south-west, with golden rolling hills during the summer months, that turn to a lush green as winter arrives. The region is well known for its produce, cafes and even wineries. We will take you to this lovely region, to enjoy a wine tasting and a delicious lunch at the award-winning Ferguson Falls Wines Café. After lunch, we visit Gnomesville to take a stroll through the trees and the vast collection of Gnomes that have taken residence – a sight you need to see to believe. On the way home, a stop in Mandurah allows passengers to stretch their legs and even buy an ice cream if they so wish.
Wave Rock & Hippos Yawn
Eroded by the elements over millions of years, Wave Rock as the name suggests, looks like a cresting wave rising out of the sparse WA landscape. The unusual rock formation attracts tourists from all over, who come to marvel at its size. The rock is close to the town of Hyden, a quirky town, which is home to several interesting attractions including The Lace Place, Pioneer Town Museum, Wildlife Park and The Miniature Soldier Museum. Hippos Yawn the second most visited sight in Hyden, is another unusual shaped granite outcrop providing an excellent photo opportunity. On the way back to Perth, stop off at the Corrigan Dog Cemetery, established in 1974 this place is a tribute to man’s best friend – with over 200 loved canines now buried here.
