8am
28 degrees, top of 41 forecast for today!! What happened to Autumn!!
Headed
off north to Leonora via the Goldfields Highway. Did all the history etc last
year. Stopped at the old stamper to top up with water than called into the Post
Office to let them know we are expecting two parcels – one a fridge!!
10km
east of Leonora to Malcolm Dam. It was built in 1902 to provide water for the
railway. Named after the township of Malcolm nearby which is now only a railway
siding for the big ore carriages. It is a lot lower than last year but the
flock of black swans are enjoying it.
Found
the only ‘big’ tree to give us some relief from the heat. The strong hot wind
is coming from the north west. Worked out the best position to make the most of
the shade and set up camp.
Bob
and Margaret turned their van around so the fridge area got more protection
from the sun. By 3pm we were both in the shade.
Went
for a drive to check out the pending area we are going to detect – an excuse to
be in the air conditioning.
Clouds
came over creating a lovely sunset as we had our drinks.
Cooked
dinner then sat outside watching lightning flashes to the west.
Still
windy at 9.30pm. 32.5 degrees in the van!!
