Hyden Wave Rock – The Pre-Historic Surf


Wave Rock is part of the northern face of Hyden Rock and this amazing nature sculpture is located at Perth, Australia. The shape of the wave is formed by gradual erosion of the softer rock beneath the upper edge, over many centuries. Wave Rock has cultural significance to Aborigines. More than 140,000 tourists visit wave rock every year.

There are actually several examples of such waves in the Hyden area. The colors of the Wave are caused by the rain washing chemical deposits down the face, forming vertical stripes of grey reds and yellows. It is also worth seeing the Rock at different times of the day, as the changing sunlight alters its colors and appearance. Following are magnificent nature photos of Hyden Wave Rock at Australia.
