We have enjoyed the -5C on the shore of Copeton Dam, south of Inverell, a bit warmer tonight at 5C. Been camped here since Sunday arvo, absolutely beautiful spot to camp. The dam is down to about 20% capacity due to the drought but this has also opened up a whole new area for camping.
The Transport Museum here is worth a visit, some great old cars and bikes etc, even had my Grand Mum Dora's Chevie, same colour and everything, bit emotional memories there. Kath found their old 1956 Holden Station wagon except it wasn't pink and white.
Went fossicking for quartz, smokey quartz, grass stone and citrine yesterday at a place called Stannfield, found some nice ones to facet later, we are heading back tomorrow to find some more as I would love to get a really nice specimen of smokey quartz crystal.
The serenity of this place is unreal, sun sets to die for, wild life is very quiet and we are woken each morning by the birds, mainly a magpie chortling on the bloody roof!
A pair of kiwi's in a mobile home flogged our camping spot yesterday !!! fire place nicely made up, neatly cut and stacked fire wood ready for the night etc, whole area neat and tidy etc, I advised them of their error and she replied " plenty of other spots" so I asked her why she didn't take her own advice and move. Bush camping etiquette out the window!
Any way we we had a good laugh when they couldn't get the fire started, kept going and then smoked their van out 😂. Karma is great.
More later
stay safe
