The world's strangest places

Four hours' drive east of Perth, Western Australia, you'll find the aptly-named Wave Rock, a does-what-it-says-on-the-tin piece of incredible natural sculpture.

It stands 15 metres high and 100 metres long and its curious shape is the result of hundreds of millions of years' worth of weathering and erosion. The effect is completed by striped lines, created when water caused minerals to dissolve and leak colour down the "wave".
