18.7 degrees min, cloudy and no wind.
Ray’s birthday so sent him a happy birthday text.
We packed up and drove around the lease looking for good spots. Found another old mine shaft area and set up.
Wandered about, some small old dry-blowing piles about. I got the tiniest bit below on of them and that was all. Nothing for Steve. The little bush flies are out in force - how Steve copes without a fly net amazes me.
The wind has picked up. Steve kept on wandering while I did my blog and baked our usual Anzacs and date slice.
A big storm is brewing to the west. Nothing mentioned on BOM, just possible 0-3mm! It appears to be going SW so should miss us.
The wind is getting stronger. A big willy willy came hurtling along the back of the camper, ripping the mats out from under the steps. Luckily we didn’t get any dust.
Heard some thunder rumbles and a few flashes of lightning at 3pm.
A ute came over with a young chap from the station showing a young lady from Sweden the different mines etc.
The storm is building up and the sky is all dark now. The wind has a wet coolness to it now so closed up the camper just in case.
The storm arrived or maybe we are just getting the edge of it. The wind blew the rain horizontal for a while but it wasn’t heavy rain.
Cooled things down a lot, 21 degrees even with the camper closed up. Drinks while we played cards as the storm moved over us.
Another shower of rain later on. Still very black to the west.
Dinner and a movie. Another shower of rain.
All quiet at bed time.
