7.30am
15 degrees, clear sky and windy. No more mousies – yeah.
We
drove down to another area around some old shafts but only found a bit of
rubbish and another nice quartz crystal.
Drove
out to where more shafts were in the low hills. One area had a very deep shaft
with two concrete pads beside it so a winch could pull up the miner and the
ore. They had initials and dates carved into them. One was 1935 and the other
was 1975.
Back
to the van for lunch. The wind has gone – yeah. 24 degrees. The fridge is still
playing up. First we thought it was because we were travelling and we were
having 31 degree days – though that should be enough to worry it as we have had
worse. Steve has checked everything and now thinks it is either the thermostat
or there must be a blockage in the pipes which will mean pulling out the fridge
and tipping it upside down – great. Hopefully it will behave till we get to
Sandstone so we can check it all out. The fridge is still under warranty.
Went
for another detect in Steve’s spot but no gold. We both found a nice big smooth
crystal rock which could be cut or tumbled.
Drinks
outside by the fire as a little breeze came up which was quite chilly – had to
get my flanny.
Steve
cooked dinner on the fire – it always tastes much better than inside! And I
don’t have to cook – ha ha.
The
breeze picked up as we went back in the van to eat dinner and then it just got
stronger and stronger. Closed up the windows and the vents as it was cold! Well
at least the fridge isn’t struggling with heat!
