Getting Dirty again

We're back, We went into a suspended state of amazement while in Bourke and then we hit Walget which has to be in a permanent state of warfare then onto Lightening Ridge. We stayed two nights at the ridge and one day at Graven (or somethings like that) fossicking for those dam opals but no luck. It was very very hot so both afternoons were spent at the pool trying to cool off. We did meet the Canadians who were doing Oz in two weeks, they had organised a tent and off they went - Good Luck guys). We are now in Inverell - Sapphire capital of the world and you can see from the above pic it didnt take long for us to get in the swing of things and YES we did find some stones.
