hope there's not much more rain up there, paynes find was wet last weekend !!!
good luck if anyone is getting out.

The wife and I will be heading north for the long weekend can't wait hope it drys out some though

Hi All,

Just came back from Meeka and we havn't seen so much water alongside the road before but Nallan lake was still fairly dry, green grass alongside road verges and lake Austin half full

Definitely do not need any more water up there, we noticed a phenomenum when the thunderstorm clouds were rolling thru that it started to drizzle and all the clouds burst and the sky totally greyed out and then it started pooring down, we were swimming sitting on top of the hill so I don't recommend setting up camp in lowly places

Cheers ,Ron

May see you up that way Tom,are you heading into the paynes/fields/warr.area-I will be camped on top of my favouite hill-lots of good drainage and two bars on the mobile -what more could you ask for-other than to find out where that bloody nugget came from-Dragon

see how we go mate ive got a new spot up cue im busting to check out but its a bit of a drive for a weekend mission warradar is the other plan and a bit closer to home  

cheers Tom

Thats my plan as well mate-familiar ground-only one bog hole to get through then high and dry-will keep an eye out for you-Dragon

pics from last week... Storm Hill, don't forget to take ya floaties,
We had more rain, hail and thunderstorms than any weekend trip previous, a miracle any gold was found at all.

must admit u blokes r keen

regards
oneday

keen the word for it ray?   

We decided to go look at some property as were keen to get another investment for retirement , I like the Gascoyne region and I like the warmer weather now so for the weekend we are going for a look at some in Kalbarri and we will end up in Mt Magnet by Saturday staying in the park, I dont know the area well but might drive out towards Sandstone 20 to 40k and see whats ground is around for a day trip and a swing with the missus. say hello if you see the white Pajero out there and good luck to everyone having a go.
ps anyone know any history of the 100 yr old house 4 sale in Mt Magnet?

The guys at Wondinong station have a great accomodation setup behind the homestead in the shearers quarters ,really good clean dongers ,kitchen ,shower etc,if you want to stay out of Magnet and thats already halfway to sandstone about 16 km off the main road and just to the northern edge of Payneville-we stayed there a few years ago with the old owners and it was excellent-not that theres anything wrong with Magnet but it sure does get noisy,some very thirsty people live in that town-dragon

Hey Martin, ya lucky bugga haha!
On that road, good ground at Windamarra, probably spelt it wrong?

anyone got a report on how things are looking up in the merch ? things dried out a bit, roads open?

much appreciated cheers Tom  

Have been trying my luck out of Leinster and around Cue with a little success on first trip, Leonora looks the place to be this weekend for the races and then try our luck around that way. Perfect weather every where Iv'e been other than a little cooler now.
Cheers

hey tom, we are in Kalbarri ATM heading to Yarloo tomorrow. last time i checked all roads were open and it looks good from what Ive seen so far. may not get to Magnet as we have seen properties in Northampton we like and only 200 odd km to Yarloo so having a look around Yarloo on Sunday and Monday morning.

Have a great weekend all of you!
Drive safe and hope you find some nuggies !!!

Cheers Martin and Pete off in the morning will give it a good nudge
