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.
