Mon, 17th June, 2019 Bush camp near Mosquito Creek, east of Nullagine, WA



6.45am 11 degrees, mostly clear sky with a light breeze. A bit of cloud in the east made a nice sunrise photo.

Drove back to our patch. As we came over the rise we saw 2 vehicles and a 4wheeler but luckily they were further up the slope away from our patch. We pulled into our track and parked up and got to work finding more little bits.

The other people left after smoko which was good. We had brought lunch so we had a full day going over the area thoroughly. Steve went for another walk trying to find the bigger nuggets.

Home for drinks with our nice pile of little bits. We have two resident willy wagtails that zoom around us catching the bugs that must fly in towards the fire. We have seen a few Beekeepers too (look like a kingfisher). Red faced finches hang around the water tank flittering about the trees. Two bustards flew over us yesterday afternoon and one stopped nearby. The other one was behind him but kept on flying so his mate had to take off again to follow him. We all had a funny commentary to go with the two of them.

A beautiful full moon rose but a band of cloud then covered it as it headed up into the sky.
