If you Google 'The Breakaways' in WA you won't find much, and in fact we could easily have missed it.
A fairly nondescript brown tourist sign pointed to the right off the Hyden-Norseman road. We'd traveled around 170km east from Hyden stopping to read a variety of Shire and historical info boards in pull-in bays, and to be honest I'd had enough. But in we went.
We were confronted with a wall around 5m in height and which extended in a semi circle of 200m or so of the most amazing colours and shapes. A dark ironstone ridge top capped beautiful chalky white, pink, purple and orange walls beneath. Breathtaking colours! A field day for photographers and artists and a must see if you're over that way.
