7am
22.5 degrees, van closed up again as the wind has turned and is blowing from
the south. It blew the big band of clouds to the east so there was blue sky
again by 8am. Forgot to take our campsite photo yesterday.
I
got started on the washing and Steve washed the truck and van – mad we know as
we still have more dusty roads to travel but it is good to feel fresh and clean
for a moment!!
Chatted
with Robert & Robyn throughout the day. Robert was wandering with his
detector but hasn’t found anything yet.
We
were just finishing cleaning – slow process in between all the chatting – when
a little willy willy swirled past the end of the van then went around and got
faster and bigger sending dust everywhere!! I had to wipe the insides down
again and shake the dirt off the bedspread!!
During
drinks I learnt that the female Emu lays the eggs but it is the male that sits
on them, hatches and raises the chicks. Robert & Robyn grew emus at one
time. 6pm it is 30 degrees in the van with all the windows open so it has
warmed up a lot today. The wind has gone too.
Their
friend, Kevin, who we met at Mosquito Creek rang to say he had just unearthed a
lovely 102gram nugget at Mosquito Creek!! Our time with come we hope.
