The little town of 400 near the Wave is called Hyden. In the late 90s it was dying in the grip of the drought. A group of locals refused to let it happen. They organised a story in The Australian about Wave Rock. It was picked up overseas.
That was the beginning of their rebirth. The Progress Society organised an airstrip near the rock and then came a resort. Tourism now employs 70 locals and there are new buildings in the main street of the town. They won an Arts Grant and decided to use it to create the history of the town in sculpture created from junk. They have opened up other sites like the cave and the town has gone from strength to strength. How good is that!

Tonight we are in York 100ks east of Perth.
