It is believed that it was formed more than 2.7 billion years ago, Wave Rock is part of the northern section of Hyden Rock.

Height of Wave Rock is 14 feet, length 110 m, and a feeling that before you frozen in time and space prehistoric surf, beating the invisible shore.
The rain washes away the chemical deposits (carbonates and iron hydroxide), forming a vertical gray, red and yellow stripes. If you linger in these parts for some time, it is also worth a look at the Wave Rock at different times of day, because I was the angle of sunlight changes as the colors and shades of Wave Rock.

9. Wave Rock - not just a place that attracts tourists, but also a way to regulate water supplies. Concrete wall height of one foot is located at the upper edge of Hayden Rock directing rainwater and allowing it to accumulate in a special dam-store.
