The drive today was "East ... York"  We didn't go all the way.  About half way to York there's a small area of national park .... with a high spot.   This is the view from Mt Observation looking east toward York

This is a spot just off the highway ..... with a beaut little camping area and terrific views.

Today I took Bob in for the third inspection by the engineer .... and it PASSED!  The next step now is for it to have the normal vehicle inspection prior to registration.  So it may not be too long before I can drive it normally.

Kaylia picks up our "figures of speech"..... last night she liked something that Naomi had done.... "Good girl Mummy" she says!

#2122 Monday 12th September

Another driving day..... Kaylia is clear in her preference..... "East!" .....  so we drive east.  We drove out to Clackline, the north to Toodyay..... and then we followed the road beside the Avon River as far as is allowed.  The access beyond the halfway point is restricted. But till then the drive delightful.  Once again I'm so fortunate to have this excuse to explore our beautiful land.

This spot is a popular camping place.  The "Avon Descent" race was just a few weeks ago .... the place would have been crowded with spectators then.

#2121 Sunday 11th September

A normal, routine Sunday...... breakfast at Dome and then three op shops.

In the shed I've been forced to accept that a project can't proceed..... a while back I picked up a free trolley jack..... a very old and extremely heavy one built in Adelaide. It sort of works but it won't hold pressure. I can buy a set of seals to fix it but the kit costs more than a new jack! 

The project of building the wall using limestone blocks has come to a screaming halt after I squashed my thumb between two blocks.  Blood everywhere! So I'll give it a rest for a while.
