6am
27 degrees – so much better temperature, clear sky and light breeze.
Got
up early for breakfast so we can head off early to do our bore run as it takes
at least 3 hours. Will take longer today as we are putting in star pickets around
the solar panels, bore and pipes on the tank to prevent the cattle and donkeys
from chewing the pipes and cables. Found some of the culprits near Christmas
Bore.
Steve
got his exercise putting in the posts – I had a go, hard work. Ground looks
soft on top but there is a very hard base underneath.
Next
trip we will put the wire around to keep them out.
Home
for lunch, nice breeze, 12.30 37 degrees. We sat out on the verandah as it was
very pleasant except for a couple of flies. Cedric – the little goanna who
lives under the verandah joined us for lunch. Wish I had my camera as he
wandered by on the grass then looked up at us and put his front claws and half
his body on the concrete then flattened out as if to relax. He sat for a long
time poking his tongue out but wasn’t worried about us at all. He didn’t think
much of my cherry pips and we had already eaten the lunch meat.
Drove
back to Glens Bore to put in star pickets there too.
Decided
to try and find 10 Mile Pool. Rob had tried to find it as it is marked as a
permanent pool on the Hema. He will want to put yards there as if there is
water then the cattle will hang around there. We can see his track on the Hema
but it went a long way south then back up through the bush so we decided to go
back to Glens Bore (named after Glen as he found it) and head east directly to
it. Lots of twists and turns with Steve getting out to move logs etc. In the
end I drove and he walked ahead moving obstacles. Eventually we arrived and it
is long thin lagoon which is part of a creek. Goes for about 1km but isn’t
deep.
The
ducks think it’s good.
Steve
wandered down to the south end and found some cows.
Nice
rocky outcrop – good for a picnic but don’t think I will be having a dip here.
The
end of the lagoon.
I
drove back home winding out way through the trees. Will come back tomorrow with
the arrow frame with some big tyres on top for weight to try and make a clearer
path.
Home
for drinks in the pool – very pleasant.
I
got dinner going while Steve made his ‘track clearer’ and towed it down to
Glens Bore. I rang Kym to let them know we had found it so they will join us
tomorrow.
10.30
pm 30 degrees with a nice breeze – much better temperature for sleeping.
