Pildappa Rock is an insulberg rock with a wave structure of 2-3 stories high. It is 18km north of Minippa on the Eyre Hwy. Wave rock in WA is well known (at lest amongst a lot of Australians) and Pildappa Rock certainly rivals that. I was intrigued that the rock was quite grey on this side yet red on the other side. Once i got closer I realised this side was covered in a series of lichen circlets.
This wave is the result of a chemical weathering when soil levels were at higher levels surrounding this granite rock.
Whilst it is possible to climb the rock, I decided against it; as a lone traveller I worried that if I should fall nobody would know.
I think some of natures big things and tourist attractions interest me as much as the man-made ones appeal to the child in me.
@mwarren365 not really sure, the nearby mountain range was formed by volcanic action, and I read that the granite insulbergs were formed as batholiths from magma beneath the earth surface and gradual erosion has brought these to the surface.
