Mon, 4th Mar, 2019 10 Mile Outcamp, Tarmoola Station, 60km north of Leonora, WA



Great sleeping temperature so enjoying some sleep-ins. 8am 29 degrees, blue sky and high thin cloud with gusty SE wind which has just started blowing. There was no wind during the night.

Headed off to do our bore run. Spotted a herd of donkeys and cattle at various water points.

A dingo was near Bulldog Well but dashed off as we approached. He didn’t have any black colouring like the wild dog we saw at St Patricks.

As we drove along the boundary fence we spotted the bright blue wren again – so pretty. This track hasn’t been pushed by the dozer so Steve decided it was time to do some fixing up so a few bushes lost some limbs and he tried to smooth out the creek crossing with his pick – a little smoother!

Steve was cleaning out the trough when I saw the wild dog again but this time in the windmill enclosure – maybe he had rabbit for dinner. He wasn’t worried about Steve at all.



Back home for lunch at 1pm, 36 degrees in van. Nice temperature with the wind blowing.

Gavin arrived, he is heading home from a job in Mt Magnet and decided to drive in and see us. Was nice of him to call and great to be able to catch up again.

We drove back to Glens Bore to redo the wiring for the solar pump there as Steve found some better cable. There was just enough sun to make sure the pump was working again. The cattle are using this water point a lot more but there isn’t enough water in the bore unfortunately – we need some good rain.

I worked on my blog while Steve pottered about. Nice afternoon and evening. Enjoying the drop in temperature.
