The detail
What you'll find
Aboriginal rock art, 20 minutes north. Worth a short detour from Wave Rock.
In context
Wave Rock is one of Western Australia's most distinctive natural landmarks — a vast granite cliff sculpted by millions of years of weathering into the shape of a perfect breaking wave. Standing 15 metres high and 110 metres long, the curling face is streaked with vertical bands of grey, ochre and rust where mineral-rich water has run down its surface.
