Fri, 7th June, 2019 Bush camp south of Eastern Creek, east of Nullagine, WA (Mum & Dad’s 58th Wed Anniv)



Mum and Dad’s 58th wedding anniversary. Luckily I wished them a happy anniversary the other day as we don’t have phone reception here. They were married in Stanthorpe which has just received a coating of snow – Mum said she was glad that didn’t happen when they were there.

6.30am 12 degrees inside so 8 degrees out – so much for warmer in the north. Should get to 23 as the maximum today. The wind is back but from a different direction.

We all went detecting. I got one little bit then a loud signal in a gully nearby under some spinifex. As I dug I tried not to get too excited about finding a good sized nugget but just when I allowed myself to dream out came half a horse-shoe – I could have cried.

Steve and Ray had no success but Carol got a tiny bit like me.

Steve took the truck and rounded up some firewood out of the creek.

Ray and Carol went for a drive around to Mosquito Creek to see their friend Dave. He has a couple of leases nearby but is set up in the ‘caravan park’ near Mosquito Creek so he can get phone reception.

Steve and I played Skipbo then we got the fire going as Ray and Carol came back in time for drinks. The wind has stopped so it was lovely outside.

NO PHOTOS TODAY.
