The last couple of days have been beautiful blue skies, temp around 26 degrees during the day and 15 degrees overnight so really pleasant. So much better having the blue sky than the heavy overcast days that we were experiencing for a few days, although they were still lovely and warm. Today has been a very lazy day, only one thing left that we wanted to do and that was pop into the the goldmine hut just off the main st, which had many interesting facets and I was also able to try my hand at panning. The old volunteer Tony was quiet a character gets out his piano accordion and belts out a few tunes and then sucks you in to buy a packet of dirt to try your luck. I am sure they must sprinkle a few gold specs in each packet as my few specs looked about the same amount that he got out of his.
Will probably only travel about 100klms tomorrow as we want to stop at another old gold mining town Ravenswood on our way to Townsville.
