7.30am
15 degrees, overcast and no wind. A few drops of rain fell on the roof of the
van.
Drove
into Leonora to top up water and fuel tanks. Rang Mum and Dad for a quick chat
to say we are on the move again.
Headed
north towards dark clouds and more drops of rain. The rain got heavier as we
neared the turn off into 10 Mile Outcamp. Kym and Glen will be leaving there
soon too.
Topped
up with fuel at Leinster and bought a hot chook and buns for lunch as the rain
has found us here too. Not enough to wash all the dirt off the van though.
Continued
on to Wiluna where we stopped for a cuppa near the Alfred Canning silhouettes
marking the start of the Canning Stock Route. It was just over a year ago that
we were here about to start the CSR.
Drove
east on the Gunbarrel Highway past the signs that we posed at the end of
October when we came back that way. We turned up a track to Lake Violet Station
then continued on into the exploration leases that Ray has permission to detect
on.
Found
a track that lead to a tower so we parked up for the night. Will see the
geologist as the mine tomorrow.
Had
a quick drink outside as the sun went down. Cold wind so we didn’t stay out too
long as we weren’t worrying about a fire tonight.
Hot
shower, dinner and movies – so glad we have so many to watch to pass the time.
