7am
12 degrees, clear sky and light breeze. As the van is about 4 degrees warmer
than the outside it must have been 8 degrees out there.
We
drove out to Millionaires Gully – named because of all the gold found there in
the old days. We had found gold here in 2016. I got 1 bit straight away as I
went up the side of the creek then I only got little bits of dozer blade!
Steve
came back for smoko with a grin – he had 4 bits. I followed him over to an area
that had been pushed between granite boulders. I slowly gridded around his
holes and got 7 bits – all very small but they are gold. Steve went for a walk
and came back empty handed so he continued working near me and got 3 bits.
Headed
back to camp for lunch. Stopped at the water tank and filled out buckets from
the overflow pipe. With the extra water now I gave my hair a good wash. Luckily
my hair only needs a wash once a week. The bore water is a bit salty but nice
on my hair.
Gusty
breeze now, 25 degrees in the van with a few windows open.
We
went back to our spot and found a few more bits and lots of little bits of wire
too which might have come off a dry blower.
Joined
Ray and Carol by the fire for drinks. Dave joined us too so we had a great time
chatting and hearing about all the nuggets found recently. He had dug a 40g
nugget out of the creek behind us – as usual we are always here just after the
good ones have gone!!
Lovely
evening though it is cooling off quickly outside but the fire is nice and warm.
Headed inside for dinner and movies about 7.30pm.
