The pilot of the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, after a three-point landing on a dry lakebed, the main landing gear "hit an unseen undulation in the landing pathway" and the airplane bounced. As the main landing gear touched down again, the pilot applied heavy braking and the airplane nosed over.
