The rain did nothing.... just spat at us then went away! It was easy heading off this morning. Off to Reedy Springs... Reedy what? Who? mmnnnnnn..... noone actually knew where it was as the coordinates appeared to be elsewhere! It was about 120km out along the Strzlecki Track... a pretty good road. There weren't too many people travelling either.
What is happening with the springs is that there are several scientists who are looking at features of the desert( desert crust- a bacterial growth that appears in a range of environments and is characterised by upward growth but have no other information on the environmental conditions that encourage or inhibit growth.
A day in the wind is not my idea of a great way to spend the day.... 13C today too.... cold. Anyway... hit the springs then we exploring souls headed off to Mt Freeling which is close to where there is a talc mine... in fact there are many abandoned talc mines..... found many quartz outcrops and maybe just maybe a nice load of petrified wood.... but we are not too sure about this... that said it looks good!
At the springs there was an amazing array of artefacts - the colours and variety was wonderful and it was very easy to spend a long time crawling across the sand to find the varied colours and shapes......
Got back late.
Apparently we are leaving early tomorrow .........
Hope to catch up with you all tomorrow. Good to see that many are checking out the blog........... won't be long now and you will be delighted to know that I will be back with you at Campania High!
