Very
windy night. It stopped blowing at sunrise.
7.30am
26 degrees, clear sky and gentle breeze.
Packed
up for our day out with Kym and Glen. Headed down to Jasper Mine and had a
detect on an area nearby but nothing appeared.
Drove
around the dam – it is so big we reckon we could have fun with a jetski on it.
Watched a wedge-tailed eagle soar above it looking for something to eat.
Joined
the others for a swim in Jasper Dam then BBQ lunch under our awning. Another
swim – the water is so cool and refreshing.
Drove
back to the homestead via the Quartz Hill that we were trying to find on New
Years Eve to watch the sun set from. Would have been a great spot. Lovely view
from here. To the north is King of the Hills Mine.
The
shearing shed at Tarmoola stands out but the homestead is hidden with trees.
Back
to the homestead and chatted over a cuppa.
Christened
Kym’s new box of Sequence – the girls won!!
Headed
home with yummy caramel and vanilla icecream that Kym made. Spotted a car on
our side of the road facing us so slowed down to offer help. A couple of
aborigines but they waved us on. They had everything out of the boot but said
they were ok. As we drove off they rushed across the road and into the bush!
Might have seen a goanna for dinner!
Further
north we saw a 4WD crashed into trees so stopped to check it out. Steve had
commented on the way down about skid marks across the road but we didn’t see
the car then. Steve reckons the guy was lucky to live by the looks of the
damage. He was heading south then veered across the road to the other side then
the skid marks came straight across and into the scrub where it has rolled a
couple of times. No dead cows around so he didn’t hit one or maybe he swerved
around one. One tyre is missing so he could have had a blown out – playing detective
here!! There was rubbish and paperwork everywhere. The police had their sticker
on it (reported yesterday) and as it wasn’t covered in police tape we reckon
the guy lived. Funnily enough I picked up a certificate for the chap when he
did a 4 wheel driving course.
Back
home late so cooked dinner then retired to the van as the wind has stopped and
the mozzies are out wanting blood!
7.30pm
37 degrees – very still but the fans were enough to keep us cool.
