Wed, 10th Apr, 2019 Jungle Well, Tarmoola Station, 60km north of Leonora, WA



7am 26 degrees, clear sky and strong wind which has been blowing all night.

Took our detectors for a walk – got lots of exercise and cleaned up Australia!!

This big boy stood still for ages so I could get a good profile shot of him.

Back to the van for lunch, 37 degrees. Feels hotter with the hot wind blowing.

Steve went off for more exercise while I relaxed with my book and wrote up my blog. Not enough phone service out here to upload it though.

3pm 39 degrees – clouds are building in the west. I forgot to check the weather before we came up.

Ray and Carol rang. They are in Kambalda killing time till their replacement caravan kitchen window arrives – it parted company with the van on the Nullabor. They asked if we would like to join them down there and go detecting with them as he has permission to go on some mining leases etc. Sounds good so we will head down to Kalgoorlie in a week.

Hot afternoon so we played Skipbo with the fans on even though there is a wind it is very hot.

Rang Virginia and Geoff to see how their detecting was going. They went to Marble Bar but it was too hot and the march flies were terrible. They are at Nullagine having fun. Virginia said it was only 35 degrees in the caravan park and it was a lot cooler in her van with the air conditioner on.

6pm the wind has stopped making it feel a lot hotter than the 36 degrees. The clouds have come over.

Hot night – cold showers and fan needed.

The sky cleared by bedtime but it is still hot.
