7.30am
22 degrees, clear sky and very windy.
Watched
our ‘2 years ago’ photos while we had breakfast and at last we have now caught
up to today 2 years past. We were in Cairns visiting family and celebrating
Jodie’s 21st.
Made
up some lunch etc and headed out for a day detecting. Two emus wandered by me
while I detected. Only a couple of hot rocks for me and a ring pull for Steve!
The wind stopped at lunch time making it a lot hotter.
Back
to the van by 4.30 and it was 36 degrees in the van with the windows closed. I
opened up the van and the temp dropped only a degree.
Collected
some firewood so we can cook dinner on the fire tonight. Haven’t done this for
a month or so.
Mr
Bull is back mooing in the distance. Lots of little mozzies have come out while
we were having drinks around the fire.
I
looked back on my blog to when we were first here as Steve recalls a couple and
little girl coming for a look at the old homestead and they mentioned they had
just bought a station nearby so it was probably Joy and Lance but I didn’t have
anything in my blog about it. Also we had good phone reception back then here
but there is nothing now. Might be because Gidgee Mine is no longer
operational, just in caretaker mode.
Enjoyed
our dinner though ate inside as the mozzie was terrible – very little ones with
a big ‘whine’ as they were trying to get into the van.
Had
our shower later as it was still quite warm and the donkey makes a great hot
shower.
The
wind picked up again about 8pm from the SE which was very pleasant.
NO
PHOTOS TODAY.
