Wed, 17th Apr, 2019 24hr RV Stop, Kalgoorlie to Lake Douglas, west of Kalgoorlie, WA



7am 18 degrees, clear sky and light breeze though we can’t feel it as the van is closed up.

Rang Mum and Dad – another good friend, Bev passed away aged 82.

Rang Leanne for her birthday – having a lovely time in a unit in Brisbane.

Sent Daniel and Fran a message wishing them happy holiday in Melbourne.

Had toasted hot cross buns for morning tea – yum.

Did some more shopping – lady in the detector shop gave me an Easter Egg – yum.

Topped up the water after lunch and headed to Lake Douglas. The campground is on the other side of the hill from the lake but it is a nice big open area. Backed up near a firepit and set up camp. No one else is camped here.

3pm 25 degrees, sun out but the clouds have been passing over us all day.

Did my blog and uploaded it using the new dongle and the aerial to make sure it worked ok on the aerial.

Kerry and Brian rang from Coolgardie. Brian had just seen my blog that we were in Kalgoorlie so they rang to arrange to meet up with us. They had bought a detector like mine so we will give them some training and explain how the WA prospecting rules work etc.

Drinks by the fire – only a few flies about as it is quite chilly. Got out our flannelette shirts.

Cool evening even with the van closed up.
