Sun, 22nd Apr, 2018 Malcolm Dam, near Leonora, WA



Woke in the middle of the night as the wind picked up with a storm nearing. Wild wind but the awning was ok.

All calm again at 7.30am, 25 degrees and still overcast. Even had a couple of drops of rain. One of the ‘locals’ cars is bogged by the water’s edge.

Played some more Skipbo.

Joined Michael and Jo for a cuppa and chat. Jo said the ‘locals’ were ‘having fun’ at 4am when they went too close to the edge and bogged their car. The police drove by us while we were chatting but didn’t stop to say hello or enquire about the bogged car – probably know who they are.

Another storm cell crossing over – got a few more heavy drops of rain and some thunder. More vans rolling in – getting a bit crowded up here. A few more are parking in the bushes around the dam.

The other ‘local’ car came back and a few of them had a go at digging out the bogged car. Eventually one chap drove around and stopped to ask if we could help them out. Steve was just finishing his cuppa and was going to head down there but it is nice that the chap came and asked first. He was the Dad we saw playing with his kids in the water yesterday.



Got out the winch rope and pulled the car backwards out of the mud. They were all very thankful which was nice.


Kev, Linda and their grandson Dean arrived in the late arvo. They parked near ‘our tree’ so we went over for chat. Beautiful colour as the sun set down under the dark clouds.

Watching our photos – 2 years today we arrived in Kalgoorlie.
