Thurs, 31st Jan, 2019 10 Mile Outcamp, Tarmoola Station, 60km north of Leonora, WA



7am 23 degrees, strong chilly wind and clear sky – lovely.

Drove around checking out some more places to detect.

Lunch back at the van, 32 degrees, much nice and the breeze is still blowing well.

‘Charlie’ was in the fire pit again – drawn there by the scent of the steak package I tossed in there last night I suppose. ‘Cyril’ was heading back to his home under the cottage when Charlie came hurtling out of the pit onto Cyril so there was a bit of a scuffle. Cyril won of course, he is so much bigger, and Charlie was sent packing.

Did our bore run. Two tanks needed the sensors fixed. One was saying it was full but it wasn’t and the other didn’t shut off so it was over flowing. Luckily Steve is great with all those things. No cattle about today except for Holding Paddock where there were about 10 of them, 1 roo and 2 emus.

As we drove in we spotted a crane perched on top of the high tank.

Jon rang for a chat. He is doing an air conditioning installation course to further his tickets and Brian thought they could pick up some more work from the builders as the other installers are so behind. He said it hasn’t stopped raining for a week and half so he hasn’t been able to do much work any case. It will be crazy when the sun comes out and the tradies can get going on the job sites again.

Quiet afternoon doing my blog and jigsaw. It’s amazing how you can stare at jigsaw pieces and not get one to go in but walk away for a while and when you go back the pieces just seem to call to me and go straight into place.

The crane is still there while we had our drinks. The crows are upset as they usually sit on the tank’s platform. When they flew close the crane stretched out his neck and the crows flew away. Eventually he fluffed his feathers, had a stretch of his wings then flew off heading south.



Lovely breeze from the south. I read my book while Steve watched more gold detecting videos on the tablet.

Easy dinner tonight – leftovers. 7pm 33 degrees.

Onto the last season of Banshee, need to get more TV series to watch as some of the movies we watch are not very good.
