Day 3 -Wave Rock
Today we explored Wave Rock, which was absolutely incredible!!! It was 15 metres tall and had a lovely redish-brown colour to it. It was hard to fathom that through wind, time and erosion that a rock was formed into the shape of a wave, which is now a popular tourist site and a natural wonder. We went 'surfing' -because that's the only wave we can surf!! ;)
After walking around for a bit, we went and saw Hippo's Yawn. Which was again really gorgeous and another natural wonder. Did you know that in about a million years the Hippo will stop yawning (from erosion it will collaspe)?
The rest of the day we drove. We drove from Wave Rock to Kalgoorlie, a major mining town.
When we arrived in Kalgoorlie, we went and saw the Super Pit!! The world's largest open pit mine!! It could hold 99 times Australia's population!!
