Wave Rock Tours
Wave Rock is a natural concave-upward flared slope, positioned on the north side of the solitary hill known as Hyden Rock. Shaped like a huge breaking wave, Wave Rock is approximately 15 metres high and 110 metres long. Situated in the Hyden Wildlife Park, Wave Rock is approximately 300 kilometres east-southeast of Perth, three kilometres from the small township of Hyden.
The magnificent prehistoric formation of Wave Rock has been caused by millions of years of water erosion and natural weathering. Crystals taken from the rock in 1960 were dated at around 2700 million years old, making the granite cliffs in this area among the oldest in Australia. Minerals in the rock add to the variations of colour in the stone – especially during the wetter months – resulting in stripes of yellow gold, orange and black. During the springtime, hundreds of native flowers – including a wide array of orchids – bloom beneath the She Oak trees at the base of the Wave Rock, creating a spectacular display.
The landscape around Wave Rock is filled with unusual rock formations and a wide variety of flora and fauna, well worth investigating. Well-maintained walking tracks will take you past the rocky outcrops of Hippo's Yawn and The Humps. During September and October, three events in the vicinity of Wave Rock are well worth attending: the Kulin Bush Races, the Holt Rock Hoe Down and the Wave Rock Weekender – two days of Australian and international music.
