Tues, 12th Feb, 2019 10 Mile Outcamp, Tarmoola Station, 60km north of Leonora, WA



7.30am 25 degrees, clear sky and gusty wind.

Sent a message via Lorraine for Val’s birthday, so amazing to think she is still with us. She is in aged care now and is very happy there which is good.

Headed off to check all the bores and well. Saw a huge bull – will be interesting to see him in the yards when they muster.

As we neared one spot we saw a wedgie fly off then I saw a dingo just beside us. He stopped and looked so Steve opened the door but he wasn’t worried until I yelled, here boy, then he ran off. We found what they were checking out – a dead kangaroo near the water trough. Steve pulled it out and took it further away.

Brought back the water pod for our well and to water the grass. Kym and Glen arrived as they needed the trailer to pick up some things from Leonora.

Had lunch then returned the pod. Saw 5 black and white donkeys running beside us. The dingo didn’t come back for the roo.

We decided to go down to the homestead and have a drink and play Sequence with Kym and Glen. Met the two new backpackers, Marcel and Danielle, as Richie has headed back to Ireland to take up a cabinet making apprenticeship.

Headed back for dinner at home. Lorraine posted some lovely photos of Val celebrating her birthday.

Lots of cattle around the yard so a bit noisier now. Some just like moaning and moaning.

Nice evening, 30 degrees, with a lovely breeze coming in the window as we went to bed.

NO PHOTOS TODAY.
