Fri, 19th July, 2019 Bush camp near Mosquito Creek, east of Nullagine, WA



7am 11.1 degrees, clear sky and no wind. Cooler here then when we were back in the valley.

Headed off detecting scaring Mr Bustard out of his bush on our way out.

Didn’t find much but explored lots of different tracks throughout the lease. Warmer day as the wind has gone which is nice.

Steve found two bits so I went over it with my detector and found one more speck in the quartz run.

On our way home we decided to check our scrapes that we scored a fair few from early in the stay. As we came over the hill the whole area has been burnt. This is where the others were talking about and Dave and Sue found a patch which he was still gridding. Our scrapes were further along. I managed to find two bits in a pile of dirt that had a big pile of spinifex on it, hence I didn’t find them before.

Steve made a little fireplace near our van so we can heat up the bore water for washing up and cook the pork chops for dinner tonight. We are using the gas hot water system as we have gas to burn before going to Newman next week. Much cheaper to exchange a bottle there $29 compared to $55 in Nullagine. Joined the others for drinks again.

Clouds rose in the west as the sun set creating a beautiful colourful sky.

NO PHOTOS TODAY.
