Hyden's history showed its resilience, patience and industry. Migrants have lived without electricity, water (except fromthe Hyden dam), telephone nor television. The used push-bikes to generate hydro-power for their town. For a long time, the town uses a generator situated in the town centre (Lynch Street).
The Hippos Yawn is one of the stopping area at Wave Rock trail, it is a cave looking like a yawning Hippos, thus the name.
We spent one weekend (28-29 May 2011) at Hyden WA. Our intention is to see Wave Rock, a popular tourist spot. It gained attention when a tourist's photo was published in National Geographic in 1967. The Rock is amazingly likened to an ocean wave. It is 15 meters high and 100 meters long. So what is it? It is a long granite of natural overhanging wall. The lichens and algae produced the variant color-wave and change colors during different times of the day. The rock is estimated to be over 2700 years old.
It is a magnificent work of nature...of God's wonderful artistry.
