This amazing image of Pildappa's wave formation was captured by - thankyou for sharing!

"A wave edge of Pildappa Rock near Minnipa and Wudinna on the Eyre Peninsula. Really surprised to almost never hear of anyone talking about this place because it was a great spot to explore and camp if you're on the Eyre Highway. We slept a few metres from one wave after clambering up for sunset to wander the gnamma waterholes. The rock itself is about 400m long with a few wave edges like this, a couple of day-use areas with facilities, and then bush camping by donation down the flanks. (The camping is currently under community review though.)"
