0:00:00 Hi viewers! This is John.
0:00:02 Last September we stayed a couple of nights at Norseman,
and we took a look at the "Disappointment Rock".
0:00:07 No one seems to know who suffered the disappointment at this particular place.
0:00:11 There is a strong tradition of negative place names in Australia: Witness such places as “Useless Loop,” “Suicide Bay” and the four different hills designated as “Mount Hopeless.” There are also a total of 17 places which apparently didn’t live up to expectations and were given names that include variations of the word “Disappointed.” One of them is Disappointment Rock in Western Australia.
0:00:29 No one seems to know who suffered the disappointment at this particular place.
0:00:34 Given the location, they may have been disappointed by the lack of gold, or the lack of water.
0:00:40 Nowadays, providing you bring your own water, you can take an interesting two-kilometer walk around and over the scorned rock.
0:00:48 You will see Aboriginal water holes, one of the only higher order tuberous plants in Australia, the biggest A-tent rock formation in Australia, and many, many lizards.
0:00:57 There are 17 signposts along the walk explaining the geology, botany and history of the area. If you visit during springtime you will also see an amazing display of wildflowers.
0:01:01 We really enjoyed the "Disappointment Rock"
and it is a good place to visit in Norseman.
