6.30am
6.9 degrees, clear sky and no wind – on with the heater again.
Rang
Mum and Dad as we mightn’t have phone service at the next spot. Packed up and
said farewell to Kerry and Brian. They will head off to do their sightseeing
and hopefully we will see them at Nullagine or Marble Bar later on, otherwise I
will see them in Cairns in October as they will be back there after the wedding
to celebrate her Mum’s 90th birthday.
Drove
into Leonora and topped up the water, fuel and to put in the next lot of 40E
permits for Nullagine area.
Headed
east with the others to Laverton. Had a yummy burger and chips from the Deli
then headed south to Burtville then into the exploration leases where we have
our 40E permits for. Lots of old shafts around. Found an open area and parked
up for the night. This must have been the old camp for the mine nearby as there
is heaps of rubbish about.
It
was a warmer day, 28 degrees with a nice westerly breeze this afternoon. Hard
to imagine tomorrow is supposed to only get to 9 degrees because there is rain
predicted.
Bob
got a flat which he repaired – Ray has had two so far. Hard country on tyres as
the trees are very brittle and the quartz can be razor sharp too.
Got
the fire going – always lots of firewood easily available. Cooled down quickly
as the sun set behind a cloud band in the west. There is cloud coming up from
the south too.
I
had put lamb shanks in the Ecopot this morning before we left so our dinner was
ready to go. There is heaps of sauce left over so I will keep that for soup to
warm us up tomorrow.
