We head north east to Southern Cross to avoid the coastal school holiday crowd and take a road not yet travelled. Via Williams and Narrogin then the Wickepin-Corrigin Road we pulled up in Yealering for a peaceful stop in quiet and clean park overlooking the retreating lake.

Dinner and a game of pool at the local Yealering Pub finished off a roaming day seeking the last remaining spatters of stunning wildflowers along the roadside. Some of my pics may be weeds, I have no idea what they are, but all are beautiful to me.

For only the second time in years, the bus wouldn't start in the morning. Brad had serviced before we left and it now seemed to be having a fuel blockage. Perhaps a filter seal I'm told. No drama, a 15 min delay and the old girl's up and off again.
