Mon, 14th Oct, 2019 Mickey & Chris’ place, Sandstone to Bush camp at The Granites, near Mt Magnet, WA



7am 18 degrees, gusty cool breeze and clear sky.

Slowly packed up. Diesel knows something is up as he is hanging around us all the time. He just loves Steve. He is so funny with his fettish with the fresh lemons. He picks them up from the very laden tree and brings them back for us to throw them like a ball then when he has had enough he chews it. At least he has a fresh breath and his ‘farts’ are lemony but still terrible!!

Said our farewells again to Mickey. We will be back in a month.

Headed west to Mt Magnet. Got some vegies and meat for Steve while he goes detecting for the month I am away.

We saw a notice asking for movie extras for October and November – wonder what the movie is about. Mickey has 20 or so coming in December to make a movie at Sandstone – crazy time of the year as it will be so hot then.

Drove out to The Granites – an escarpment area we have camped at before. As we drove in we saw a heap of trucks and vehicles on the other side then some signs, UB and Set. This must be the movie set.

We continued up the track to the top of the escarpment and parked up. Nice breeze up here as the van has warmed up to 30 degrees.

Good view down over the movie camp area.

Steve found another ‘movie’ site further over. A little goanna came to have a look too.

It looks like it was a movie set as there were camels and when I zoomed in I could see black screens and big microphones. There was a huge fire for the set - a fire truck had followed us in so obviously he had to be there as it is ‘no fires’ time of the year now.




Will be interesting to hear what Mickey finds out when the movie crew go to Sandstone in December.

Back to the van for a drink and a few games of Skipbo.

Dinner and movies – lots of lights down at the movie set.
