Hippos yawn is found about 2 Km around the base of wave rock. It is a pleasant bush walk in the morning before it gets too hot. On the walk there are signs explaining the vegetation and you get to see several varieties of wildflowers (in spring). Also there are some interesting shapes on the sides of wave rock to observe.
Reminded me of the board game, Hungry Hippos. Very unique landform. Worth visiting alongside Wave Rock. There is a pathway that links the two.
this whole area is amazing and worth the visit, remember aerogard though as the flys can be bad if no wind, the walks can be as easy or as hard as you like, something for everyone.
It's so a Hippo, very big, easily accesible by car or walking. Wild flowers were out which made it even more pleasant.
Saw this on the way to Wave Rock. If not would have given this a missI did not manage to read further information on the geography of this place
As far as geological formations go, Hippo's Yawn is definitely a poor relation to its superstar neighbour Wave Rock. But it is literally around the corner, so if you've come all this way to see the superstar, you may as well check out the Hippo as well. It's worth a gawk and a few snaps.
Only stopped here quickly but it does look like a hippo yawning.Worth the visit as it is close by before retiring to the place for lunch.
a big hippo yawning and that's exactly what it looks like, loved it. A bit of a walk to get down to it, but well worth it.
It is a short walk or drive from Wave Rock - you can drive right to it. I think the whole area is best seen by walking from one site to another.
We took a few pictures and we were on our way back to Perth. not something fantastic. It was alright.
