Pathways to Wave Rock offers scenic landscapes and a glimpse into the heart of Wheatbelt farming life. Discover massive granite outcrops, natural bushland, canola fields in late winter, and vibrant wildflowers in spring. Heritage and nature Start your journey in Beverley, where you can take a motorless flight with the Beverley Soaring Society, WA’s largest gliding club, or explore Vincent Street’s heritage buildings, art galleries and riverside trails. Continue to Corrigin, home of the famous Dog Cemetery, a heartfelt tribute to man’s best friend. Stretch your legs at Gorge Rock, take a scenic Wildflower Drive, or enjoy a family picnic and play at the Rotary Park.

Slip and slide Kulin is best known for its Tin Horse Highway but if you’re visiting in summer, check out WA’s biggest regional waterslide. Enjoy the views from Jilakin Rock or a picnic amid the white cliffs of Buckley’s Breakaway. History and landmarks In Kondinin, follow the JS Roe Heritage Trail to uncover local history and creative artwork at Statues Lake. Enjoy a peaceful stop at Kondinin Lake before heading to Hyden, home of the world famous Wave Rock. Capture photos of this ancient granite wave, then unwind with a mineral-rich float in the Wave Rock Salt Baths.

Salt and skies Vast salt lakes and endless horizons define Lake Grace, home to the historic Australian Inland Mission Hospital. Nearby, the impressive 10km Lake King Causeway stretches across glittering salt flats. Culture and wildlife Visit the Narembeen Hawk and Grain Discovery Centre. Looking to get in touch with nature? Walk among wildlife at Wadderin Sanctuary. Art and adventures At the town of Bruce Rock explore the Federation Amphitheatre, Mosaic Pathway and museum before hiking ‘Bruce’s Rock’ just outside town for sweeping views. On your way home, stop in Quairading, check out the “El Toro” sculpture and Toapin Weir, perfect for picnics, BBQs and stargazing under the Wheatbelt sky.
