A young banker decided he wanted to order his first tailor-made suit, so he went to the finest tailor in town to get measured. A week later he went in for his first fitting. He put on the suit and he looked fabulous. He felt that in this suit he could do business. As he was preening himself in front of the mirror, he reached down to put his hands in the pockets but to his surprise he noticed that there were no pockets. He mentioned this to the tailor, who then asked him: “Didn’t you tell me you were a banker?” The young man answered: “Yes, I did.” To this the tailor said: “Whoever heard of a banker with his hands in his own pockets?” SUNDAY RIDE REPORTS OUTRUN THE RAIN RIDE - 18 October 2020 Today was based on a simple plan, ride to Wongan Hills via Toodyay and Calingari, for lunch. A phone call to the pub, a few days prior, established it was closed on Sunday. Plan B Ride to Dowerin for lunch after confirming the pub was open. So 10 bikes and one pillion (Fran) set off from Maccas enroute to Northam via Toodyay Rd and Clackline. The day started well, cool, however began to warm up after an hour or so pleasing most riders who had opted for summer gear based on the 30 degree forecast. Half an hour out of Northam the skies darkened and the temperature dropped to 17 degrees causing some to switch on their heated grips. As we approached the last small roundabout before the town centre Eric decided to do a 360 degree turn and head home. Coffee at the Riversedge cafe overlooking the Avon River was pleasant as was the verbal interaction. We could hear thunder in the distance as the dark clouds to the Northeast, the direction in which we were heading, became blacker. Time to call the pub in Dowerin to confirm lunch numbers. They didn’t answer at 8am when first called, probably a bit early for a publican. Having confirmed numbers, the publican advised it was raining with thunder and lightening which could effect the power meaning no or cold lunches for us. Thank you Dowerin pub, we didn’t want cold lunches and we didn’t want to get wet particularly as most of us were wearing summer gear.

  • Please Read Before Viewing
    Please Read Before Viewing The following document is the full draft version of the Dongara-Geraldton-Northampton Corridor Alignment Selection Report, written for the purpose of identifying a preferred investigation corridor for further planning activities, including community consultation. The report has not been altered in any way since its provision to the Minister for Transport in September 2020, and no sections of it have been omitted in this presentation. Alignment Selection work is normally assessed through desktop assessments, which provide a reasonable understanding of the constraints, issues and opportunities. The desktop work is used to progress stakeholder discussions to test the validity of shortlisted options, leading to landholder and community input. This community and landholder input is a critical step in the process to fill a number of gaps with regard to constraints/issues and assessment of the options. Only after consultation has been incorporated into the planning process can alignment selection be finalised, allowing for more detailed planning (including site investigations). The report was written on the information available at the time of writing. Main Roads’ current engagement activities have already revealed a number of further constraints and opportunities that require further investigation, which may influence the alignment of the final recommended corridor. Feedback on the report can be directed to: [email protected] HP Records Manager No. Date Published Alignment Selection Report – Dongara
