  • Wave Rock Discovery: History & Indigenous Significance
    There is no definitive record of when Wave Rock was "discovered" in the sense of being the first person to see it.

    Here's why:

    * Indigenous Australians: The area has been inhabited by Aboriginal people for tens of thousands of years. They would have known about Wave Rock long before any European explorers.

    * European records: The earliest known European record of Wave Rock is from 1896, when a photographer named Frederick George William ("Frank") Hann captured an image of it.

    * No official "discovery": The formation was likely known to local settlers and Aboriginal people long before Hann's photograph.

    Therefore, it's impossible to pinpoint a specific date of "discovery." However, 1896 marks the earliest known documentation of Wave Rock by Europeans.
