Elaine is still not good, one has to wonder about the efficacy of the proceedure that she had a month ago.

Today dawned bright but not very sunny, however we were in a lovely spot overlooking both the dam and the bush. I made a late start but decided to repeat yesterday's walk. This is a fascinating walk, not spectacular like some that I have done but, to repeat myself fascinating. Coming down from the lookout one can look back, and for that matter all around the creek bed and surrounding breakaways and see rocks of all sizes and shapes and, importantly, colours. There are reds, browns of course, yellow, glaring white quartz, subtly tinted quartz some on the ground and some cascading down the sides of the breakaways. Today I wandered around more than yesterday and would love to see this area in near flood conditions as there are gullys every which way.

When I got to the area below the dam wall I had call, on our hand held radios, from Elaine and met her on the dam wall. We were parked close to the wall so she did not have to walk far.

Later we decided to pack up and head for the Gwalia ghost town. This is just south of Leonora and is supposedly worth the stop, I will complete that judgement tomorrow. They have a free RV parking area which overlooks the old town and the open pit. The pit is enormous and is, I understand the second reincarnation of this extremely profitable mine which was first mined at the end of the 19th century. The view in every direction is spectacular.
