YESTERDAY IN YORK

York was the first inland settlement in Western Australia. It is, therefore, categorised as an "historic city". It has a nicely preserved main street, but that sems to be a feature of most Western Australian towns. Even commercial centres ike Northam look quaint and "historic".

York sits in the fertile Avon valley and has been a major agricutural site sine settlement in the 1830s. But, York lost out to neighbouring Northam as a major rail head, so time seems to have passed it by.

Nevertheless, it's become a major tourist attraction in its own right. There's a auto museum and lots of buildings from the early 20th century.

40 km south stands Beverley. Another little agricutural town, but the home of an imipressive aero museum and seeral cappucine bars.

Time is money, so signing off for now.

Promise to get some pics loaded soon.
