Mon, 7th Oct, 2024 Bush camps off Nambi Road, Leonora, WA

19.4 degrees min, cool wind and clear sky.

Rick and Libby’s birthdays today so sent off some messages.

Went for a wander over the salt & pepper ground. Hardly any rubbish and no gold under my coil. Steve had a bit of fun down near the creek gully so we all headed down there. Unfortunately it wasn’t fun for Margaret and I only got one.

Headed back to the camper for morning tea so will grid that later. It has warmed up a lot today. 

We have a tracker on the Trilobite App which then tells us how far we walk. I did 5.7km, back and forth, so getting plenty of exercise. Steve should be skinny with all the walking he does but he has too many peanuts etc at drinkies time, haha.

Got the washing machine out to do our washing - run out of undies! We have two weeks worth so time to do the washing. Did the sheets and towels too as the sun is hot and there is a good breeze.

Steve went back to his spot to see if he could uncover any more nice treasures but none could be found. Late lunch at 38.5 degrees in the camper. Our fans work well though. Gave Bob & Margaret our box fan for Meow who isn’t enjoying the heat. Bob will put the air conditioner on shortly. Such big changes in the temperatures compared to Cairns. Only the other day we were huddled up with a max of 21 degrees. Tomorrow will be another scorcher then it was drop again and then down to 20 degrees for a day with a bit of rain!! We don’t pack jumpers and blankets away as you never know when you will need them.

Washing dried and put away. Joined Bob & Margaret in their van for a cuppa as they had the air con on but it was struggling with the already heated up van.

I made up my curry pasta then my No-bake Cheesecake for dessert tomorrow night as we have run out of ice cream. 

More clouds are coming over and it is actually cooler outside in the shade with the breeze blowing then in the camper but you have to put up with the flies. Our fly swats work well though so we are surviving our drinks time without fly nets on.

Lovely dinner in the fire light though we aren’t sitting too close to it tonight! The wind blew the clouds away and we managed to spot one satellite.
