Wave Rock

Wave Rock is an incredible geological formation near the wheat belt town of Hyden, and is one of Australia's most recognisable landforms.

Rising 15 metres from the ground and more than 100 metres long, Wave Rock looks like a giant surf wave of multicoloured granite about to crash onto the bushland below.

It's believed this amazing formation was more than 2,700 million years in the making.

Take a bush walk around the rock to see native flowers and birds. Wave Rock also plays host to a popular music festival each year in spring.

Wave Rock is a 4 - 5 hr drive from Perth through picturesque farmland. You can drive yourself or there are many day trip coach tours from Perth.
