Wed, 3rd July, 2019 Bush camp near Upper Mosquito Creek Mining Centre, east of Nullagine, WA



7am 13.5 degrees, clear sky and no wind.

Packed our lunches and headed off to explore other areas. Checked out the Galteemore Mining Centre which was were lots of old timers worked an area. Now the area has been worked over with bulldozers and deep exploration drill holes.

Steve, Kerry and Brian all scored a little bit of gold, the rest of us just cleaned up Australia. Windy day but quite pleasant.

Stopped at the old big dry blower near our camp so the others could check it out. Apparently the story goes that a Russian chap conned the local townspeople out of their money in buying this machine to work the area but it was much too large and it was a failure.

Got a text from Glen and Kym, they are back at 10 Mile Outcamp.

We all cooked our dinners in camp ovens tonight so I could give Bob his Camp Oven Certificate. Ray had suggested it after the last time we were together since Bob was learning how to use the camp oven. He thought it was fabulous.

Lovely evening chatting around the fire.

Quite cool as we headed back into our vans.

NO PHOTOS TODAY.
