The Wave Rock is a natural rock formation located in western Australia. It derives its name from the fact that it is shaped like a tall breaking ocean wave. The total outcrop covers several hectares; the “wave” part of the rock is about 15 meters high and approximately 110 meters long. One aspect of Wave Rock rarely shown on photographs is the retaining wall about halfway up the rock. This follows the contours and allows rainwater to be collected in a dam. It was constructed in 1951 by the Public Works Department, and such walls are common on many similar rocks in the wheatbelt. — with Robin Bray McFalls, Carlos Herglotz, Silvia Helena Pena, Alicia Iturri, Dhiman Khisa, Anca Mihaela Muntianu,Carmen Rueda Tapia, Youssef Elya, Susan Lynn,Felipe Portal, Lovely Princess Heart, Brie Murphyand Cyndy Knapp Franz.
