23/9/11 Hyden to Norseman

We travelled the direct route from Hyden to Norseman on the "Granite and Woodlands Discovery Trail" which is a 300 km long gravel track.  Along the way we discovered some scenic jewels.  The Breakaways are beautiful, multicoloured sand cliffs where you can picnic or camp.

McDermid Rock is very similar to wave rock.  It has a number of gnamma (pools of water) around the face of the rock.

Lake Johnston is a salt lake surrounded by red sandy soil and salmon gums.

Disappointment Rock was surrounded by wild flowers in full bloom so, although we only spent a few minutes there because the day was getting late, it was not a disappointment.

These boulders sit at the base of  Disappointment Rock.
