7am
26 degrees, blue sky and wispy clouds with a nice northerly breeze.
Did
our morning jobs then played a game of 3 to Kings. Steve started off winning 5
straight then things went bad. He ended up losing by over 100 points – we are
even in winning games so far.
Told
Dan, Jon and Mum &Dad that I had booked tickets to fly home in end of
October for 3 weeks then put a note on Facebook so my friends can mark their
calanders.
Had
a cuppa then headed down to Leonora. Put in two 40E applications to detect on
two exploration leases when we finish up here. I asked the lady about the ‘locals’
detecting and she said they need permits just like us.
Topped
up with water. Steve chatted with a chap who was from New Caledonia. He was
born in France – his English was just passable. He had worked as a nurse for 30
years and is now retired and travelling the world looking for gold. He has a
French detector so not sure how good that is. We were talking about the
different minerals in Australia and he said that New Caledonia is the 3rd
largest supply of Nickel. The girls at the Mines Dept will have fun sorting him
out with permits etc.
Back
to the homestead. Kym and Glen were still out doing their bore run so we had
our lunch which I brought with us. Steve then put the tyre off the rim that had
split onto the new rim we bought using the tyre changer in the shed.
Kym
and Glen arrived – they had gone up to St Patricks to see if the dingo/wild dog
was there but he was gone. Played 5 games of Sequence – the girls won 3 games
to 2. They put up a good fight!!
Just
as we were leaving the Mines Dept rang to say my Miners Right has never been
put on the system and could we bring it in to show them. Luckily we only had
the 30km to go back in so we went back into town and she photocopied it. So
much for the 40E we did last year for Halls Creek – that person in Kalgoorlie
didn’t do their job.
Dark
clouds are building in the north-west. The cattle were having a drink from the
muddy pool on the track near home – so much for having to clean their troughs
if they are happy to drink that muck when they could have walked a bit further
for nice clean water.
Sky
looking sinister but nothing is showing on the BOM radar. The clouds have
blocked out the sun so we had our drinks on the verandah.
Nice
bit of colour as the sun set. Looks like no rain for us tonight.
