WEDNESDAY 14 JULY GEMTREE
We took a packed lunch and drove back out to the garnet fields. As our supplies drop, and because we don’t want to be making bread too often, we have had to start in on the Cruskit biscuits, eaten with Kraft cheddar cheese and sliced tomatoes. That makes an adequate lunch.
Before lunch, we dug in the same creek area as before, and seemed to find some pieces.

After lunch, John wanted to try up the hill, along a rough track. This digging area looked less worked over, but we did not do as well. I was not sure whether we were reworking gravels already sieved!
It was pleasant working out there, but the bush flies were bad again.

We drove 87kms today.
When we left this morning, the mechanic was working on the pump. The diesel was back working by the time we got back this afternoon, so we filled up. 97cpl.
Tea was soup, omelette, French fries and leftover fried rice.
