Sat, 22nd Dec, 2018 10 Mile Outcamp, Tarmoola Station, 60km north of Leonora, WA



7.30am 25.6 degrees, gusty cool breeze and clear sky.

Unpacked the truck and sorted out the groceries and meat.

Put the insect mesh we picked up and finished off the two security doors we had picked up in Leonora. Steve will fix the old security door so all the doors and windows will have insect mesh on them.

Steve found a towel rail in the old caravan which he put up in the shower room. Starting to look like a nice little home now.

Had lunch and enjoyed our lychees. Clouds coming over.

Cleaned out the trough for the cattle here then headed off to check all the other spots. The other ones with solar panels had wiring problems too which Steve fixed this time as he brought tools etc to fix the other two we found on the first bore run. We could hear the donkeys in the distance. Mr Lizard posed for a photo and a few finches were enjoying the water.




Spotted a rabbit, a few kangaroos lazing on the track. Still plenty of green grass around but the track is dry now which is good. Fixed the other solar cables that were broken and then had to fix another one that the cows had just chewed. Steve said the cables were still wet and the cattle were standing around watching us.

The windmill ones were good. Flushed out a few troughs as they were full of algae. Took us 4 hours and the run is a 101km trip for the 10 bores.

Clouds blocked out the sun set and the breeze has stopped. 8pm 31 degrees in the van.

I realised I have forgotten to send Christmas cards – will have to send some via email and Facebook instead.
