Almost done with the country for a while. After driving for eight hours through the WA Wheatbelt (map), passing many small country towns, the last stop on the trip was York, 97km east of Perth, the oldest inland town in WA, first settled in 1831.. not quite as old as its English counterpart :) Just over an hour drive from Perth, York is definitely worth a day trip all of its own, so just a few teaser shots of the glorious heritage buildings along the main street until we return. The signage below made me smile 'Decorous accommodation. Befitting... RESPECTABLE COUPLES' ! I wonder what would define a 'respectable couple' then as to now.. I'm guessing now it would be all about the ability to pay the bill.. told you I'd be more cheerful today :) Happy Thursday, take care and stay safe...
York is quite pretty, I haven't been there in a while, but it's also on my "to visit list" when my daughter visits in December.
ReplyDeleteSo different from York in England. I love it. Another set of images that remind me of places in the West in USA.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of the West in the US too. That would be the wild wild west :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely row of building...great yellow and black car.
ReplyDeleteVery nice street scenes but in te UK York is a City
ReplyDeleteQuaint little town. I wonder too what they would consider a respectable couple nowadays. : ) Looks like you've been having a nice getaway!
ReplyDeleteI love the old buildings, Grace!
ReplyDeleteNot a bit like its English namesake but what a pretty street this town has.
ReplyDeleteGetting out and about is good for the camera and the heart.
ReplyDeleteLovely town, well worth a visit.
Charming! Glad you got out, WAY out there!
ReplyDeleteHmm. . . respectable, you say. That's cause for some deep reflection, I think. :-)

ReplyDeleteThe accommodation book might show rather a lot of couples named Mr and Mrs Smith.
ReplyDeleteI love your photo's, especially like the yellow and black car in your first one.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
What a darling little place.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
Now that's a town I could spend several days in taking photos. It reminds me a lot of the main street in Cedar Key although Cedar Key is rougher being a crabby old fishing town in the Gulf of Mexico! đ
ReplyDeleteLove the street parade of atmospheric building styles.
ReplyDeleteNice clicks.
ReplyDeleteYork looks friendly and inviting to stop.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what defines a "respectable couple" but I know exactly the kind of shenanigans they were trying to exclude.
ReplyDeleteUma cidade muito interessante e de certeza com muitas histĂłrias para contar.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de boa semana.

A respectable couple, what would that be, ha,ha. I like that building in the first photo, with the poles and balconies.
ReplyDeleteThe top image looks like it is from a famous old film.
ReplyDeleteGreat architecture. Looks pretty.
Guess before 2013 they would´ve denied a room for Ingo and I there then, Grace ;-)
ReplyDeleteNice lille town (to travel through, I wouldn´t want to live there).
Lovely architecture, Grace. And that sign - it's just begging for someone to be indecorous, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteGreat architecture!
ReplyDeleteGreat the first photo, with an old car that completes the scene! Arianna
ReplyDelete"Decorous accommodations befitting respectable couples?" I guess that means they don't rent rooms by the hour!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quaint little town, and it reminds me so much of our own New Orleans!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a charming place to visit.
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely there. I know I could never be considered respectable.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a great place to walk around with a camera. Lots of history there also. Great photos Grace...
