Weekend warriors

Be interesting to see how every one went over the long weekend.Hopefully they had fine weather as it was not too bad in the metro area.Diesel owners may have had a few problems in sourcing fuel.Have to wait for the posts now.

mate caught a shite load of yabbies--I'm all yabbied out--stick to prospecting its easier

the missis and I got away for the weekend after a bit of a late start
(alarm set on weekdays)   went up to warriedar for a look around had a great weekend the weather was cool no wind and no flies but a few midgies with the standing water around.
caught up with a lease holder had a good yarn and checked out his operation what a top bloke.
got a rattle in the jar with Sheryl pinged one and I got 2 all small ones but got to admit we didn't put much time in swinging, to busy checking out the area, drinking beer and cooking steaks on the campfire   
called into the warriedar homestead for a look around on the way home, CALM have taken over the station and left the homestead to fall apart, a volunteer organisation track care WA have stepped in and put in a heap of work to restore the old place and it is open to the public to stay, camp if you want for free not a bad option if you are working the area

cheers Tom

Sounds like a great week end Tom.Just to get away from the rat race has got to be a bonus in itself.Good also you got a couple bits even though small they all count.Do you know what the set up is with Calm for staying at there stations,is a booking necessary or simply rock up and hope for the best?.

Cheers

You can stay on warriedar any time Phil,trackcare use it as lot and have done a lot of work -new pit toilets etc-no water so take plenty-there were about 25 caravans there this weekend with the Mitsubishi 4wd club- and as Tom said the midgies were vicious-I was way north of the homestead around my usual haunt and saw two very large brown snakes so stay alert-dragon

I can vouch for the midgie's, still got there bite's all over me from 3 weeks ago at paynes, not itching anymore just scabby looking bites, grouse !!  
good onya boys, had a good weekend myself mowing lawns and watching me footy team smash the eagle's  
jase

Glad you and Karen had an enjoyable trip mate
How many K's further is it from where we were?
Bugga those midgies, they drive ya crazy, had the same problem at SX last year

Thanks for that dragon,I will keep it in mind for the future.
Jase,your weekend sounds very similar to mine mowing lawns etc.But I did get a chance to make a frame for my engel to sit on and serviced the genny for the next up and coming trip.

Cheers

Hi Purple Dragon,

Our last trip I was searching for high AU values along the rabbit proof fence out the back of Curtis's Find and I was making a dry creek crossing and needed a rock to build up the bank so I could get up the bank

In the middle of the creek there was two large rocks I had already bent over to pick one up with arms outstretched and this darn snake decided to crawl back into his hole

He obviously had already seen me and thought better of it, all I saw was black and cream scales with a criss cross pattern...the rock stayed there!!!

Gotta be so carefull!!!

Ron

Gents

Went out for a swing for the weekend

Got 11 bits for about 5g

Also got a good feed of Yabbies




Peaky

Can not complain about that peaky some gold and a nice feed to top it off with.

good size yabbies there Peaky. and a rattle in the jar, good weekend buddy.

Gday Flouro-that sounds like a spotted mulga snake ,that would have done you some damage if you had him cornered,I reckon minelab should put a special frequency in their machines to piss the hell out of midgies and snakes-and bungarras and bullants-anybody else got anything to add to the list before i ring minelab -dragon  

It's so weird but when I'm out prospecting for some reason my detector sometimes goes off when I get near a tree or bush, and when ever I have looked up there's always a spider in the way, I reckon it's me guardian angel warning me not to walk under it. But before I walk away I always push the detector over the spot just in case, and nothing there but the spider.

Cheers
Sandra

Wish mine would Sandra i hate walking through those webs ,for me and the poor spider ,how much work do those little guys have to do just to get a feed-dragon

  peaky, looks like a good weekend out man.

so did you feed the film crew??   just joking

jase

snakes, spider's scorpions wild dogs etc etc
all part of the venture people, gotta love it !!
but yeah no midgie's or fly's  

Peaky keep them coming bro! Had to sit out last weekend, plastic (maxed at the mo)
I know where there is a local spot for Yabbies... Hey Cloggsie! Like fish'n in a barrel...

I'm just charging batts at the moment and planning a trip east, a bit closer to town where the pickings are a bit slimmer but less of a trek behind the wheel for a short weekender.
