21
months on the road today. 7.30am 17 degrees with gusty SE wind flapping the
awning and a clear blue sky. Packed up and headed back to the Meeka-Sandstone
Road and headed south 20km or so.
Yogahong
Hill stands out.
Crossed
over the continuation of the Vermin Proof Fence. We are looking at the section
heading west back to where we crossed it before Lake Annean.
Turned
west of the road onto a track then south to check out the Gabanintha Mine –
which on my Hema says is abandoned though it appears to have a mining lease
over it at the moment but nothing happening here. I saw it on Google Earth and
it is more huge holes with ‘new hills’ around them. We turned around and headed
back to where we turned off to find a camp spot.
Nice
area near a ‘creek’.
Steve
was collecting firewood and found a branch had two little goannas living in it.
I took some photos then left them in their home.
After
lunch the boys went off detecting again. I can just get reception on the phone
here so will have to see how I go with uploading my blog. Just enough to get
blog up, check emails and facebook.
Steve
dug a hole for the firepit so Lyn and I stacked rocks around the edge then got
the fire going. The boys came back empty-handed. There was a light breeze
blowing from the south which brought the sound of a man talking. He was either
chatting with someone that didn’t get a word in or he was on the phone. We
couldn’t see any lights so will have to investigate tomorrow. Steve had seen
fresh wheel tracks when he was detecting.
Just
managed to get the ABC on AM radio – after fixing it we now can’t get the FM
radio we had before!!
