6.30am
17.5 degrees, clear sky and light breeze. Birds are happily tweeting though
there isn’t any water around for them other than what gets dropped on the
ground from the bore. Got buzzed by mosquitoes early this morning so will put
our mozzie net up over the bed for tonight.
Having
a rest day so I can catch up on my blog.
Took
a photo of our camp site since we were too late to get one last night.
To
the south are some rocky hills that we went by in the dark last night.
Steve
got more water and rinse out the washing that had been slushing around in the
bucket.
A
few annoying hornets have decided our camp needs investigating!! The flies are
bad too so on with my fly net.
Steve
pottered about setting up his fireplace. He found a drum in the bush and
brought that over to use as a table. Then he modified some tent pegs to make
hooks for the awning ropes so we could unclip them easily.
After
lunch we played a few games of Dice then we went and checked out the hand pump
of Georgia Bore.
Some
information here too. The bore was named after the senior geologist’s newly
born baby girl. There is a sign saying information shelter but don’t know where
that has gone.
Georgia Bore
This bore was drilled and equipped by CRA for use by
their survey crews while exploring for oil during the 1990s. There are many of
these bores situated at disused CRA campsites throughout the Canning Basin.
Water in CRA bores is usually of excellent quality.
In
an old frypan was the visitors’ books and lots of cards from travellers. I
added our names and took photos of the ones who have signed in this year.
Getting
a lot of blogging done with breaks to recharge the lap top. Glad we have the 12
volt charger for it.
A
nice hot day, 3pm 34.8 degrees in the shade with a good breeze. The washing is
all dry so now the domestic is bringing it all in and even folding it neatly.
No
one has come through here so another quiet night.
We
never tire of the night sky view but love the challenge of Skipbo. So a few
more games after dinner by the fire. Steve wins again.
