Tonight we are luxuriating in the caravan park at Leinster. Leinster is a mining town, originally gold then nickel but BHP is closing things down and things are going bad for the local business people. The post office & newsagency has its last day tomorrow and from what I saw was probably a good business. It must be very hard for the owner to pack up and quit.

We drove up today from the dam, stopping briefly at Leonora. It seemed that the only thing to see there was the Sons of Gwalia mine historical precinct, but we have sort of done our dash for that sort of thing for the moment......so on we went.

According to signs along the wY we should have seen emus, but no such luck.
