A young travelling couple were drenched when they stood on rocks too close to the ocean when a massive wave rolled in.
The pair were exploring Dirk Hartog Island, a popular tourist haven in Shark Bay in northern Western Australia, a decided to pose for photos. We spotted a 20-30m cliff edge watching the waves break and thought it would be a great photo opportunity, they explained. It was. except for the one rogue wave caught on camera [that] absolutely smashed us. Everyone survived except the hat.
