Another of the very realistic displays at the Grain Discovery Centre.

Steve, demonstrating the peculiar weathering of rocks on Wave Rock.
This dam created on Wave Rock provided a water supply for the local area.

With most of WA’s magnificent wildflowers so colourful, it was a change to see green flowers.
Gum tree flowers. I loved the red branches and seed pods.
Unique public art sculptures. Hyden.
I like the chap on the end, singing as he pedals. Hyden.
Each of the sculptures highlights the life of someone from Hyden’s history – Hilda and Harry in this one.
A novel way of asking for donations. Hyden.
This ‘shoe fence’ went for at least a kilometre – leaving Hyden.

The wind blowing in the trees, exposing the red branches. So beautiful.
This rock-lined drain channelled water from the rock to a dam, about a kilometre away. Hark yakka went into this construction.
