6.30am
10 degrees in the van – heater goes on. Clear blue sky.
7.30am
still only 8 degrees outside!!
The
boys headed off to check out some scrapes they heard about while I decided to
do the washing while I had plenty of water and sunshine.
It
was warm in the sun that I got down to shorts and t-shirt for the morning.
The
breeze came up and was a bit chilly but I was in the van by then working on the
family tree photos again – changed how I was doing it so had to start again!!
Lucky I have plenty of time.
The
boys came back – Jeff with two little bits of gold in rocks and Steve with no
gold. A bulldozer had been in there and pushed around a creek area then
detected and then covered over again. It must have only been a week before we
arrived as we had noticed lots of broken branches as we came in the main track.
A bit naughty of them as they had not mining right to do machinery work.
Steve
did bring me back two old emu eggs and a lid to ‘Bird’s Egg Substitute’. The
eggs were all white. There were about 5 around the base of a tree – I wonder
what happened to the parents.
Got
the fires going and enjoyed a nice long hot shower as we are moving on tomorrow
and will be back to our quick showers.
Lovely
sunset and evening by the fire. We have really enjoyed our stay here though a
bit more gold would have been nice.
A
light cloud came over about 8pm and created the strange ring around the moon
again.
