A Couple Of Trips

[Coota]

I was up Madtunas way about a month ago, beautiful weather cool nights and around 25-26 C during the day. A few frosty mornings when I had to scrape the ice off the quad before heading off.

I ran into Steve one day (going where even a mountain goat would think twice about), had a yarn and a couple of ales and garnered a little local knowledge and marked a couple of spots Steve recommended. Shifted camp the next day to an area Steve mentioned and picked up the bulk of my finds there, 26 grams so thanks for that Steve.

Next trip I headed up Wiluna way for a week then on to Meeka to meet up with a mate.

Just the one little patch at Wiluna, nothing deeper than about 6 inches. Had me a little excited for a while but she dried up after about an ounce.

Meekatharra, WA? I sooooooo jealous

Getting harder and harder to find anything decent Meeka way Jen, a very busy area. I specifically wanted to try the new salt setting in one particular area there, it loses a lot of depth but is usable.

Thanks for the clips, I'll go check them out.... I reckon Meeka's been pounded pretty heavy, it seems like every tour operators favorite place to go after Tib.

Hiya Steve, heading back up to Wiluna in a few days for a couple of weeks then onto your stamping ground for another two weeks or so, no real timetable or set plan, I'll call into the homestead if I do get there.

cheers
