11
degrees this morning so put the heater on to take the chill out of the van
while we have breakfast.
Went
for a walk to get the lay of the land. From the track the land slopes upwards
to low hills and we found the workings marked on the triangle lease.
Steve
went for a detect and as I can get reception tried ringing Kaylene. She was out
shopping with Wendy and Rebecca so had a great chat with them. Do miss my Friday
shopping outings with them. Steve came back empty handed!!
We
moved camp to the top of the hill as we came into the area before the triangle
lease and I can get better reception.
We
can also watch the road trains zoom along the highway from Nannine around the
lake and down to the south.
I
worked on the Tengraph map linking it to Google Earth to get GPS co-ordinates
of the lease and then put them on the Hema map so Steve can see where we can
detect legally.
As
we are staying for a bit I got out my fairy lights and solar lights etc. It
will be nice to stop for a while as I have over a week of blogging to catch up
on. Lucky I write lots of notes.
Got
a good fire going as there are heaps of dead trees. The sun is setting but as
we are at a higher elevation we don’t get the same as the sunsets over the
water.
It
disappears but the colour hangs around about an hour before darkness falls.
Delicious
camp oven dinner under the millions of stars – can’t get better than this and
we aren’t freezing. Spotted a few more satellites. Watched the trucks zoom up
and down the highway with the big lights blazing and the trail of red lights
down the side following them.
