7.30am
18.3 degrees, clouds still in the north-east but blue sky for the rest. Gusty
breeze.
Packed
up then had a cuppa with Kerry and Brian going through their info about places
to see and good places to camp up the coast for when we head there over summer.
I will catch up with them in Cairns in October. They were packing up too and
heading back to the pending area so it will be interesting to see how many more
little bits of gold they can find there.
We
headed off back up Skull Springs Road then back to where Ray and Carol are
camped with Dave. We pulled in near their van. Didn’t unhook as we are planning
to drive out to one of the 40E permit leases so we don’t have to drive back and
forth each day.
Had
lunch, 28 degrees in the van. I did some baking while Steve took my detector
for a walk. A vehicle came in and then Steve. The couple, Carol and Merv from
Hervey Bay, wanted some advice on where they were as they were new to all this.
They had a 40E but couldn’t work out where they were. We set them straight and
enjoyed a nice chat with them.
Steve
found two little bits on a hill nearby. Ray and Carol came back so we joined
them and the others for drinks around Ray’s little gas bottle fireplace – bit
lacking compared to Steve’s big fireplaces!! They don’t sit outside till late
like we have been doing with Kerry and Brian so they don’t need a big fire to
keep warm. Got all the goss on what has been happening over the past two weeks.
The
wind settled after sunset. Ray and Carol are going to stay here so we will see
them around or in a couple of weeks before we head down to Newman.
Inside
for dinner and movies.
