    Main entrance to access Wave Rock, Hyden Rock & The Hippo's Yawn.

    Wave Rock is a natural rock formation shaped like an ocean wave. It is about 15m tall and 2700 Million years old. It attracts around 10,000 tourists a year.

    Wave Rock has cultural significance to Ballardong people, who believed it to have been created by the "Rainbow Serpent" after she dragged her swollen body over the land, having consumed all the water in the area.

    The Hippo's Yawn is a rock of about 12.6 metres in height and is named due to it's resemblance to a Hippopotamus with it's mouth wide open. It is a short walk East of the main attraction; Wave Rock.

    The facility also contains a large restaurant and gift store, as well as accommodation in the form of a campsite and rent-able cabins.
