7.30am
9.5 degrees, clear blue sky and a light breeze – much nicer.
The
road to Meekatharra is open but still lots of wet patches.
Stopped
to check out the new pending exploration lease. Detected for an hour or so but
only found lots of rubbish.
Headed
further along and turned off at a well and stockyards to try and follow a track
to another old mining area that is marked on the Hema. Unhooked the van and the
boys headed off to explore. They didn’t get far as the track has disappeared.
Oh well no gold for us today.
Stopped
to check out an abandoned car – took photos to give to the Police when we get
into town. Obviously they felt bad about leaving it.
Into
Meekatharra and to the shops to stock up on grog and food. It was after 4pm so
the Police was closed so will call in tomorrow.
Went
past the van park which was packed. Heard recently of a lady who was accosted
in the shower block there – very sad. Drove out to Peace Gorge to camp for the
night just as the sun was going down.
Steve
is happy, 28 channels on the TV. Weather forecast says 4 degrees overnight and
then only 14 tops tomorrow!!
