Sat, 3rd Nov, 2018 Pastoral Station, 60km north of Sandstone, WA



8am 29 degrees and very windy.

Steve went for a wander with his detector.

I helped out Joy by giving the Guest Quarters a clean ready for their friends this afternoon.

Cleaned out the chook pen and gave them fresh hay. The old stuff I spread around the plants. Did another load of horse poo for the vegie gardens. The poo dries hard so it is easy to handle then once you wet it and mush it up I can spread it easily with the shovel on the garden beds and around the fruit trees.


Lovely cool breeze today though it is 35 degrees in the van lunch time but it doesn’t feel that hot.

I found out about ‘ripping’ my music CDs onto the lap top so I can then put them on the USB so we can have more music when we travel and also to play in the van as the dust has gotten into that CD player too.

No joy for Steve when he returned for lunch. He headed back out determined to find something other than rubbish.

Storms are building around us.

Later in the afternoon Chris, Sandy and their two boys, Mitchell and Harry arrived. Harry is in Kayla school class. They have property at Paynes Find and Sandy grew up ‘gold mining’ with her parents there. They have the gold battery and museum there that we missed out on seeing when we drove through.

Flashes of lightning and some rolls of thunder out to the east. Rain out there too as I saw a rainbow.

We got a few drops of rain but the light show was fabulous.

BBQ dinner with lots of chatting. Still flashing around us but the stars are out above us.

We just got into bed when the wind whipped up and a shower of rain fell with more lightning and thunder overhead.
