#10 Waverock

It has been a month since Australia's trip, but I still haven't done blogging about it =P Btw, I'll keep this up and finish the stories....So, this blog post is about Waverock, Hyden....

Wavelike rock

Little facts about Wawerock: Wave Rock is a natural rock formation that is shaped like a tall breaking ocean wave. The "wave" is about 14 m (46 ft) high and around 110 m (360 ft) long. It forms the north side of a solitary hill, which is known as "Hyden Rock." 

Despite its wave-like looking, it has nothing to do with the ocean.

So basically we took a ride of almost 5-6 hours to reach Waverock. We coincidentally bumped into a family of Malaysian in this road trip. Well, aunty complained that it was quite boring as we had to sit in the car for so long. True, a long journey to go.

I fell into deep slumbers for a couples of time.

Some said the trip did not worth.As we had to travel so far just to look at some rocks. Ahaha. TRUE. But it was no ordinary rocks, they are stunning multicolour granite 2700-million-years-old rock hoho. That's what makes it different after all.

So we walked and walked, climbed the stairs and yea, we are on top of the Waverock. A whole flat, hard piece of rock.

Up on the waverock.

A bright and sunny afternoon

In fact the Waverock is just a part of the Hyden Rock. It is the most outstanding landform so it is the all-time-favourite.

Xt couldn't even open his eyes lol

Very cacat self shot.

Xt's random panaroma shoot with me in the middle =P

Tried to do some wave-surfing postures but unfortunately failed..Too steep lah.

Freedom in heart!

xt so cute!

Then, our tour guide drove us to Hippo's Yawn. Another natural monument that resembles a Hippopotamus with its big mouth opened as if it is yawning. 

If you aren't a 'rock' person, you definitely going to find it boring. But then it was my first time seeing a giant surf-like rock, I was quite happy to see it with my own eyes. =)

Look at the rock behind me!

We also stopped by a Dog Cemetery--A place where the owners buried their beloved dog. Dog's grave yard with their names and some touching messages on the tombstones. Some of the dogs were buried in 1960 something. Maybe some of them had reincarnated into human in this 21st century, who knows?.... =D

Then we were there to listen to the Aboriginal's legend of Mulka. Hmm..a scary story.

Here you go:
The story is real and it happened 300 years ago. Mulka was born with crossed-eyed because his mother married a man she not supposed to. In older days, there were some forbidden marriage where two persons with different society ranks were not meant to be together. Mulka's mother went against the norm, thus Mulka was punished as a result. Mulka was a tall man but he greatly suffered from his disabilities. He was disgraced by his people. Mulka was angry and wanted to revenge.

He then kidnapped children, brought them to a cave where he torn them and ate them up. He ended up killing his own mother when she came to advise him to turn a new leaf. His people hunted Mulka for his cruelty and inhumanity. They killed Mulka and left his bodies eaten by the ants.

The cave is inside there. Dark and creepy.

Nowadays, they used the story to warn children not to sway in the night.

The aboriginal has moved away from this place because they believed Mulka evil spirit were still there in the cave. There were also an incident where people moved into Hyden sensed that this place was evil and they moved the second day.(This person knew nothing about this Aboriginal story)

Haha, the story is quite creepy huhh......

End the story with a picture of me with cute pine cone...=P
