Wave Rock

On the way to Perth there is not much interesting to stop by. In fact there is not much at all. Towns are still about 100-200 km apart and very tiny, some are more just stations than towns. One stop worth making is the Wave Rock though. It’s quite impressive, 15m high rock that thanks to erosion now looks like surfers dream (if it wasn’t a rock obviously).

Cestou do Perthu neni moc zajimavosti. Lepe receno tam toho vubec neni moc – cesnice jsou furt 100 az 200 km od sebe a nektery jsou spis farmy nez vesnice. Jednou zajimavosti je Wave Rock – Vlnova skala. Je to cekelm slusny sutr, asi 15 m vysky asi 100m do sirky a diky erozi ted vypada jako sen vsechn surfaru (teda kdyby to nebylo z kamene samozrejme).

 

The township nearby has an original way to tell it’s story – they made it out of metal. The figurines are gorgeous and the accompanying text tells the history really well. It is quite fascinating as well – the town was only connected to electricity in 1989 and had no mobile phone coverage until late 1990’s.

Blizke mestecko si naslo svuj originalni zpusob jak vypravet svoji historii – postavili ji ze zeleza. Figuriny jsou uzasny a doprovodny text nadherne popisuje historii osidleni. Napriklad elektrina sem zavedena az v roce 1989 a mobilni telefony tu nemely signal az do konce 90. let.
