Mon, 7th Jan, 2019 10 Mile Outcamp, Tarmoola Station, 60km north of Leonora, WA



7am 28 degrees, light breeze, clear sky. The cattle are wandering close to ‘our’ green grass!! We seem to be seeing a lot more lately since we haven’t had any more rain they are hanging around the water troughs more.

Off for a detect again – only one tiny bit for me. Not doing too well but we are enjoying ourselves.

Got a message from Ceri that the fuel will be delivered at the homestead but we don’t have to go down to sign for it. Had a lovely chat with her and I said about the cattle being about and that a lot of them are males. She said to take photos and send to her so she can see what they will need to take off.

38 degrees at lunch – so glad we have our pool and it is still cool from the cooler night. Temps going to climb again into the 40s over the next few days.

The water tank is overflowing so we put the sprinkler on to try and keep the grass green. Cedric, the bigger goanna, wandered by and had a nice bath. He laid his head sidewards and lapped up the water off the concrete – I need to put a bowl out for him!!

Erica rang – Maree had her hip repaired and is recovering well. She will be 90 on 2nd April – we share the same birthday. Hope she gets to enjoy her 90th and heals well from the operation.

The heat on the Hema as we drive along is bad hence we have had a cap over the top of it to try and reduce the heat. I decided to create a new cover so made a template from cardboard then left Steve to finish off the job. He had some special board and did a great job. When we are parked we always put up the silver screen to try and keep out the heat.


The cattle came in for a drink so I wandered over to take some photos – some just stood still and others bolted.




I like this black and white one.

Kym and Glen heading back from Kal so we drove down to meet them and collect our groceries. Steve also got more fencing wire, star pickets etc to finish off the remaining enclosures.

Back home for late drinks in the pool, 33 degrees still and the coldness has gone from the water after the hot day.

Cooked dinner – fresh corn on the cob to go with sausages and omelette, have lots of eggs to eat.

Enjoying ‘Banshee’, the new series we are watching.
