Cool
start again 8.8 degrees at 8am inside the van. Our little heater works well so
got us warmed up and ready to pan for gold and gemstones.
Thinking
of Bill as he faces his big operation. Hope all goes well.
Tassie
couple gave us some tips on good places to go.
Rocky
River was once a big gold and gem field in the late 1800s. Can see why it is
called Rocky.
Saw
some beautiful red parrots.
Found
a nice size smoky quartz and a few garnets in the first sieve.
Steve
even got some gold but it was so small. Filled one of Steve’s gold jars so we
were happy.
By
lunch time dark clouds had started to roll in and down came the rain in big
drops. Put on a silverside in my Ecopot and had lunch. On with the raincoats
and I kept sieving. Steve took the detector for a walk and found a bullet casing
and buckshot pellets. More rain so no fire tonight.
Later in the afternoon we
heard some good thunder and a few flashes of lightning but it was a long way
away. Watched a movie as it was cold and raining then out with the heater and
cooked the vegies and carved the silverside. We played a few games of Rummikub with
port and coffee. 6 degrees outside and 18 in the van.
We have covered 2930kms
so far.
