Had a fairly late morning, none of us are sleeping very well!

We had decided to do the Orange Car Door trail today. It headed out to the Seam Opal fields as opposed to the Nobby Opal fields around here. It was about 100 km round trip on mainly unsealed roads.

The countryside was quite varied, some of it very flat which had been cropped and then into hilly, tree covered terrain. Saw lots of goats and even an emu crossed over in front of us.

We first stopped at the Grawin Club in the Scrub (it’s a golf course, well supposedly). The girls spent some time fossicking and found some small pieces of opal potch.

From there we carried on to the Sheepyard Inn and had fish, chips and salad for lunch. The girls then spent some time fossicking!

The Glengarry Hilton was out third stop. The girls then spent some time fossicking!

We had to return to the Sheepyard Inn as both Helen & Maria had discovered that they were a tool short and as things are very quiet around here, found them both still on the tailings pile!

On the way back stopped for a photo of the enormous Stanley the Emu.

Started a new jigsaw once back at the cottage and waited until the sunset was 30 minutes away and redid the Green Car Door trail.

No dust (it had rained overnight) and so we watched the sunset. Back to the cottage for a quick bite and getting ready for bed!
