Sun, 28th Apr, 2019 Bush camp at Wild Cat Mine, north-east of Leonora, WA (Jon’s birthday)



Our baby is 26 today – how the years have flown. Laid in bed thinking back over all the years and things we have done together, sports, scouts, school etc. He has made us very proud of his achievements and his commitment to work etc. Will find a hill later and see if we can get phone reception to give him a call.

7.30am 13 degrees, clear sky and light breeze. Nearly cold enough to put on the heater but the sun is shining and it warms up quickly and we detect in long pants and long sleeved shirts.

We drove down to the other shafts we found last time but we only found rubbish. Heard some dingoes howling to each other over on the breakaway to the east of us.

Tried another spot near a hill but still no joy – getting lots of exercise.

Drove up the hill and got good phone reception so gave Jon a call. Unfortunately it started raining up the dam so they came home at lunch time today. He said they had fun any case. Jess bought him 4WD recovery gear for his trip in May to Marina Plains. We sent him some money so he can use that for fishing gear etc.

A text came through that we missed a call from Kev and Linda so we gave them a call back. Great to hear from them both and that they are enjoying their home. They put in a wood fireplace recently and tried it out the other night – worked well.

Tried Rick again but he and Kaylene were just finishing lunch with Steve and Sandra so we said we will catch him another time.

Back to the van for a late lunch, 26 degrees, no wind.

Tried another spot near our camp and Ray found a tiny speck but he was the only lucky one today.

Back to the van to get the fire going to cook dinner on it. The wind settled down which was lovely as we sat around the fire and chatted.

NO PHOTOS TODAY.
