Thurs, 28th Mar, 2019 10 Mile Outcamp, Tarmoola Station, 60km north of Leonora, WA



6am 28 degrees, overcast and no wind.

Headed down to Kalgoorlie to do the shopping. Went through a shower of rain about 40km south of Leonora then the sky cleared as we headed into Kal.

Got the bits and pieces we needed and things needed at the station. Nice lady as Vinnies gave me flannelette pillow cases for Kym to use for the joey to keep him warm.

Had my birthday lunch at Montys Restaurant – very nice. TV was on, luckily with no sound as it is all about the upcoming Federal election. That part of the news I don’t miss – all the horrible things politicians say about each other rather than concentrating on what is best for Australia.

Headed back home. The rain band was still in the same spot south of Leonora and we went through a heavier shower of rain – gave the truck a wash.

Called into the post office at Leonora and picked up our 40E permits so we are right to go detecting there from the 8th April.

As we headed up Old Agnew Road towards the homestead the wind picked up and was blowing dust everywhere – so much for the clean truck.

Dropped off Kym & Glen’s groceries and the items we picked up for the station. Had a nice time chatting then headed back home again.

Easy dinner as we didn’t get home till dark. Unloaded the groceries and I packed the meat into bags ready to put into the freezer in the truck. No more big freezer to use.

Heidi and Max posted they are heading to Leonora so sent a message that we will be at Malcolm Dam on Monday. They are getting there Saturday so we will camp near them and catch up on all the news.

Still quite warm in the van so got the fan going to move the air.

NO PHOTOS TODAY.
