First day in the field

Ash and I did our first day in the field today. We basically circumnavigated the Rocklea dome area that Ashlie has to map. It is 15kms x 15kms. It took us 6 hours in the 4WD. No idea how we are going to get a result in a little over a month. 

We met one of the station stockmen today. His name was Peter and he was a classic old aboriginal bushie. He told us where he was setting dingo traps and said he would see us round. We also met 2 prospectors. They showed ash their gold. One of them told us where his house was in Tom Price and said we could go there and do our washing and stay. He told us where the key was in case he wasn't home. Nice blokes. 

 We finished the day tired and dry. Nothing a cold beer and a shower didn't fix. 

We also found some water in the Beasley river. We might go for a swim one day.
