I had a really good training lesson with Minelab, run by Lindsey Stockdale, while I was in Kalgoorlie. I learnt a lot on how to set up the gold detector and trying it out on various pieces of gold at different depths. Still no luck finding any more gold but soon!!!

We caught up with Les and Iris whom we last saw down at Bremer Bay. We spent a week together catching up on where we had both been in the last 12 months. It's enjoyable to catch up with fellow travellers.

On the way back to Perth we stopped at Karalee Rock which is just east of Southern Cross. This was a water catchment area for the old railway line. An engineering feat of the day which provided over 6 kms of metre high walls diverting the water run off from the rock to a dam. This was then pumped south to the railway line. The camping area can cater for around 20 groups, each with their own campfire. A drop loo is provided. We were told late in the day that the dam is full of Yabbies so next time we go past we may drop in for a feast.

This may be our last web update for a few months as after Perth we will be heading out past Sandstone for some serious gold detecting. With no phone service in the area we wont be able to update the webpages or receive any emails. So no later than July, when we will be at Ningaloo diving with the sharks again, we should be able to get back on the web.

Enjoy the photos below.

Till we see you next, enjoy life to the fullest.
