Wed, 29th Oct, 2014 Notleys Campground, Greater Bendigo NP


They predicted 6 degrees and that is what it was at 6am. We were cosy in bed with 12 degrees. Steve headed off to the spot Bruce & Gayle went yesterday with their friend who takes gold prospecting tours – they didn’t find anything but he found 11 minute pieces with a different detector to theirs. So the challenge was out!!! I packed my bags and started packing up the van as Steve will drop me at the Bendigo train station then head onto Maryborough (they have one in Victoria) or somewhere else that purports to have gold!!

Steve didn’t find any more gold. Bruce and Gayle left – they have been great to spend time with and Steve will probably see them at the campground in Maryborough tomorrow. The English couple came back – they had a phone interview with a chap who wants a lady to look after 4 of his children and a chap to help with the farm. They meet him tomorrow to check it out – about an hour north of here at Gypsum. We showed them our gold as Richard thought he would be able to find gold on the ground.

A rescue helicopter flew low over us – hope it isn’t for anything too bad. Came back about an hour later.

Gathered around the fire one last time with Barry and Gayle and the English couple. Lots of laughs. We were talking about the stars and I pointed up to say you can see the satellites and one was crossing overhead, which was great. Another clear lovely sky. Going to be cold tonight.
