Top of Hyden Rock catchment wall
A go-to viewpoint at Wave Rock.
The detail
What you'll find
Top of Hyden Rock catchment wall is one of the best vantages around Wave Rock. For golden hour: East face of the wave catches the first warm light around 6:15 am. Sunset tip: Climb the top of Hyden Rock for 360° pastel skies over the wheat plains.
In context
Allow at least an hour to walk the base of the wave, climb up to the catchment wall on top and explore the trails through the surrounding bushland. The on-site visitor centre, café and wildlife park make a comfortable half-day stop.
Good to know
Tips for the visit
- Arrive 30 minutes before golden hour
- Bring a windproof layer
- Stay back from cliff edges
