Not a real one, as today I went for a ride and as the old girl went over 140,000 km, she threw a spanner at me. The only things left to do and the oils in the gearbox and cardan.
However I managed to take a few photos (nothing like Mr Hagan does, but...) on my journey to Burrugorang Lookout and environs:
These are all Lake Burragorang, which feeds Warragamba Dam, the main water source for Shitney. There is some evidence of the horrific bushfires that were rampant at the beginning of the year.
Black Betty in all her glory, giving me the come on!

In some parts of WA, many end with "-up". Big place, thousands of different original languages/dialects, even before the transcription errors. Weird, but we like it.
