Fri, 18th July, 2025 Bush camp off Meeka/Sandstone Road, south-east of Meekatharra to Peace Gorge picnic ground, Meekatharra, WA

5.2 degrees min, clear sky and light breeze. Heater on of course.

Packed up and meandered through the leases checking out the ground. Ended up at the live mining lease so stopped to ask how to get to another pending lease further south. The chap has been working here for years and is in the process of selling - lots of cleaning up to do around camp!! He gave Steve the directions and we headed off again to an old open pit mine area called Tried Again. He had said his friend wandered over the flats and came back with a few bits of gold.

We parked up on the salt/pepper ground, had a cuppa then went wandering. 

After lunch we went for a drive to check out the other leases. Lots of good looking ground so we might come back. We decided to go back to Meekatharra and around to Peace Gorge again to do the washing and put the inverter in. Steve also has to look at a slow leak in a front tyre too. There is rain forecast for Monday so need to be where we want to detect in case it is more than the predicted 3mm.

Set up in the same spot at last time.

I did my baking while Steve started making brackets to hang the inverter from. He had bolted the last one upside-down from the top of the storage box and maybe that didn’t give it enough ventilation as this one’s manual says not to have it upside down.

Drinks inside while we played cards.

Kaylene rang to say that Wendy’s mum, Heather, had passed away yesterday. I sent Wendy a text and will chat to her later as she will be busy getting things sorted. Sad but a blessing as she had been deteriorating.
