Tues, 5th Feb, 2019 10 Mile Outcamp, Tarmoola Station, 60km north of Leonora, WA



7.30am 22 degrees, clear sky and cool gusty wind.

I finished putting the groceries away while Steve tried out the other generator. Not running smoothly – has smoking issues. Rob has ordered a new bigger genie for here so looks like we will just have to keep the old one going till then.

I worked on my blog and caught up on emails etc.

Helped Steve change our well’s solar pump’s position. It normally stands vertical but Rob suggested we lay it horizontal and maybe it will pick up more water if our water table is low in the well. Steve made a platform for it to sit on so it is off the bottom then we added more pipe and lowered it down. So far it is pumping well and our tank is full again.

Dark clouds building in the north around lunch time.

2pm 34 degrees with a light breeze. Humid day but not hot.

Continued with my jigsaw – got a lot done but the dark trees and wolves fur will be fun!!

Finished my book which was very interesting. The author and her brother and sister were still working the station north of Lawn Hill in 2003 and were open to tourists but when I googled it the camp site is now closed.

Had our drinks then a dip in the pool.

Dinner and movie.

Still 31 degrees at 10.30pm but there is a nice breeze. A lot of flashes of lightning in the north so we might get a storm later.

NO PHOTOS TODAY.
