Alhamdulillah, we were very lucky to have the chance to spend our holiday in Western Australia before going back to Malaysia. Wave Rock Hyden was our dream-list destination. About 4 hours travel by car from Perth we managed to make a day trip.

Rock of natures impact
Believed to have formed over 2700 million years ago, Wave Rock is part of the northern face of Hyden Rock. The shape of the wave is formed by gradual erosion of the softer rock beneath the upper edge, over many centuries
14 metres high, and 110m long.
The colours of the Wave are caused by the rain washing chemical deposits (carbonates and iron hydroxide) down the face, forming vertical stripes of greys reds and yellows.
There are also rocks at different times of the day, as the changing sunlight alters its colours and appearance. (sources of info: http://www.waverock.com.au)
While there, we also went to the animal farm just beside the Wave Rock.
