Wave Rock is nothing like I remember it, well it is still a giant rock shaped like a wave but i don't remember even being able to actually walk on it or that it was actually established as a dam in the early 1900's to provide the town with water. See even I learnt something!
Next stop on our day in the car was to find the Holland Track and get started. It really wasn't that bad of a 'track' to be honest and I was starting to think that we would have it done in no time at all. We stopped for the day around 4pm, set up and took a look around while taking in a wonderful sunset.
We heading off reasonably early the next morning to make the best of the day. Well let's just say we lost the track twice and it turned out to be more of a 4WD track that I thought. There must have been a massive amount of rain in the area earlier in the week as there was some serious mud puddles laying around, some that we had to take the car/camper through.
We stopped for a drink and something to eat mid morning and meet up with another car that couldn't find the track, they had lost it at the 'State fence' so J was pretty happy to have someone else with us a few hours as it was a little more game with some of the tracks that we took. I will admit to closing my eyes in some points and to mud flying in my opened window.
It proved to be a great day for wildlife, we started with Kangaroos, a wild dog running down the track {which was very large}, more race horse gonnas than I could count and a few thorny devils.
It took us all day to travel just under 300kms so we stayed the night at Victoria Rock, which is really just a great big rock but it was a nice spot for the night as driving onto Coolgardie was just too far. We stopped just before 5pm so it was a long and exciting day in the car.
Next stop Kalgoorlie as J has a job laying flooring starting on the weekend.
