7.30am
28 degrees, cloudy and still. No water in the rain gauge from the misty rain
last night.
Did
our bore run – still some boggy sections of track from the 20mm rain we had. (I
just realised I had been putting ml for the rain measurement when it should be
mm – oh well everyone knows what I mean.) No cattle about.
Sky
is clearing with a warm south-east breeze.
Home
for lunch 37 degrees.
I
sorted out our movie and back-up hard drives. Steve washed the truck as it was
splattered with mud from the track. He has plenty of fresh water to use in the
pool.
Storm
clouds building again in the north west. We saw on Facebook that Cairns had
good rain – TBHS oval was under water so rang Mum and Dad. She said they had a
couple of showers yesterday and nothing today so not sure what that was about.
Cyclone Trevor has crossed Cape York Peninsula near Lockhardt River and is
continuing west into the Gulf which they predict it will intensify but keep
heading west into Northern Territory.
Rob
rang to let us know that they won’t get to do the muster at 10 Mile now as rain
is predicted – what a shame we were so looking forward to being a part of it.
Mum won’t have to worry about me going in the helicopters with the muster
pilots at least or zooming along in a bull catcher. At least we got a taste
with helping with a small section of processing and trapping the cattle here
for a bit. We will move on at the end of the month as we have put in our 40E
permits to detect on a couple of exploration leases and we can detect on
pending ground while we wait for the 40Es to be processed (takes 3 weeks).
A
near full moon rose above the clouds and a few stars peeked out as we sat on
the verandah waiting for dinner to cook. Saw a few good flashes of lightning in
the south.
Dark
clouds are coming over us and at 10.30pm we heard the pitter patter of
raindrops on the roof but only light.
NO
PHOTOS TODAY.
