10
degrees at 7am, clear sky, no wind. The cold I had been holding off in Cairns
has caught up with me!!
Went
out to where the group has been finding some gold. I didn’t find anything other
than hot rocks. Moved to another spot and Steve found a nice nuglet.
Back
to camp for lunch and start the pack up as we will head off tomorrow to Lake
Mason.
Steve
had found this dated piece of metal which we think might be from a train
carriage armchair, maybe. He gave it to Kev who is going to use it in a lamp he
is planning. They have both been finding all kinds of bits and pieces – pair of
bowerbirds they are!!
Steve panned off the crushed quartz bits from
Nullagine last year and got a nice haul out of it. We had picked out the
nuglets when he first crushed it then we have another jar with bits of quartz
that has bits of gold hanging onto the quartz. This was the remaining rocks
that we couldn’t see any gold in – goes to show, that’s why they had the big stampers
crushing the rocks.
Lovely
afternoon/evening by the fire (with jumpers on). Saw a satellite at last – we
think they have been turned off or something as we used to see 5 or 6 at
least!!
