WAVE ROCK - HYDEN W.A.

On our way back from Victoria we took a different route and went down to Esperence and then up through Hyden to visit Wave Rock. The rock has been formed by gradual erosion of the softer rock beneath the upper edge over many years. It is 14 metres high, and 110m long and the colours are caused by rain washing down the rock.


It is quite an easy climb up to the top - but the signage gives you a bit to think about!!


They have also built a small concrete wall on top of the rock directing rainfall into a storage dam.
