Marble Bar

Makes you wonder at times.  How desperate can people get to find filthy gold if they have to start fires.

What will they do next?

WOW, we were going to head over for a day or two but May have to rethink about that. LG

You may as well take advantage of the freshly cleared ground. We found a fresh burn at Salgash and it allowed us to run the 20" mono in an area usually heavily covered with spinifex.

Thanks for weather forecast, presently travelling by Port Hedland and we can see the change in the weather pattern. We have five days for prospecting so hopefully, it will work for us. Thanks for all the help. Joan

HEAP OF RAIN OUT THAT WAY--GOIN BY ALL REPORTS

REGARDS
ONEDAY

Currently in MB Caravan Park, heavy rain, thunder and lightening Thursday night and heavy rain all day Friday. CP was full but today a lot has left as it is absolutely beautiful, lots of sunshine and quite hot. A group of prospecting from Victoria sleeping in tents, have their quad bikes and currently drying out their gear. Feel sorry for them getting so wet. Word has it they are professional prospectors. We are off now to search for gold! Thanks for all your help. Joan
