Tues, 23rd August, 2016 Bush camp, 15km S of Marble Bar, WA


7.30am 15 degrees, very wind and cold!! The sun is out but the warmth is getting through the cold wind. Only going to get to 24 degrees today.

Too windy to detect so we did some cleaning and resealing trying to stop the dust from coming in. We pulled the fridge out and Steve sealed all the cavity as the wind just whistles through that. Poor old van is getting a work out with all the roads we drag it over but it is still doing well.

Rang Malcolm to congratulate him on his good racing weekend. He said it was minus 2 at Westbury this morning so we can’t complain about our 17!!

Baked some Cornflakes Cookies so rang Leanne for a chat as she gave me the recipe. They are on Gate 12 again for Bathurst but they haven’t been given a campsite yet.

After smoko we drove back towards Marble Bar checking out tracks to find more areas to detect. Found a few scrapes and we both got one little nuglet off them. Mine was so skinny I thought it was a bit of wire.




The wind is settling down but is still cool so the van is still closed up.
