We are looking at moving on next week from Lightning Ridge. It's been an interesting time.
Last Thursday night we went out to Lorne Station Caravan Park where Rob has been doing some rewiring. They had a live entertainment night. Some 50 people enjoyed sitting around open fires and watching Neil play some fine instrumental music and some rip roaring songs. He has played with the Emmanuel brothers and is very good. He now runs the park with his wife Christine.
After the show we sat around talking to some local SES workers, off duty police, and a few campers. More interesting stories here.
The bore baths are the best place to be in winter and seeing as it's been the coldest, wettest winter in the Ridge for over 30 years we frequented these every evening. They were built in 1963 and locals are there more regularly to socialise than the local pub or club!!
The water comes from 1km below the earth's surface and a good soak in them is quite relaxing - ahhhhh
Rob has been doing some maintenance work on the equipment out at Aaron's mine. Below is where the diggers go in and tunnel out under the ledges so that they collapse, then it's into the trucks to be inspected for opals later.
That's all for now but stay tuned as next week we will should have some exciting news!!!!!!!
