7am
20 degrees, clear sky and a cold breeze. Very windy last night.
Headed
out looking for gold!! I found a little bit and a rock at the first place. When
Steve looked at the rock he saw a bit of gold and picked it off the rock. There
was no more signal in the rock so we didn’t have to smash that one.
I
found a couple more bits after smoko but poor Steve is on a drought. I think
this area has been done to death and only the 2300 is capable of getting the
tiny little bits that are left.
After
lunch we tried another place and again I got one little bit and nothing for
Steve.
Didn’t
make my 1 gram today though.
3pm
34.6 degrees in the van with all the windows and vents open. Now we feel at
home. Drove into town to dump the dunny and get some water so we can enjoy long
hot showers. Stopped at the Mining Office and got some Tengraph maps of the
area. Will do the sightseeing trip tomorrow for our wedding anniversary.
Steve
noticed the original water tank on the truck had dropped a bit so he got out
some bits and tools and fixed it all up – such a handy chap to have around!!
The
next lot of buds opened on the Sturt’s Desert Pea which was lovely.
Another
lovely evening. The breeze settled for our showers which is handy.
