The first thing that you need to know if you are planning to visit Wave Rock in Western Australia is that there is no beach sand or surf involved.
A friend of mine tells a great story about meeting four young international tourists when they stopped to refuel at a petrol station he was working at not far from the rock.
They had surfboards tied to the roof of their car and when he asked where they were planning to surf so far from the coast they replied “Wave Rock”.

Keep your eyes peeled for the iconic black swans along the river.
