Gold Fever

The picture shows us with the statue of Hardy Norseman, a horse that started the town of Norseman. The horse was walking around here when he kicked a rock and revealed a nugget of gold and that started a gold rush.
We spent ages digging up rocks to find a nugget, but could not find any. Someone said that to get gold out of rocks you smelt it. Well, we sniffed every where and we still did not find any. If they smelt gold they had better noses than ours. For all the good we did we would have been better off filtering sea water through our tail feathers.
Today we went down the 'Ninety Mile Straight,' 90 miles of road with no turning. Not much for us, we went past a sign, nodded off to sleep and woke up when we went round the next corner. Couldn't see what all the fuss was about. It was much more fun searching for gold in the caravan park!

Go WEST young dog!

We are following the code of the American pioneers and heading for the west. The pic shows us at the border, with me in South Australia and Hannah in Western Australia.
It has been an interesting trip so far, we met up with Mintie and Maggie for lunch on Saturday, had a night in Kimba where we played ball at the back of the caravan park, stayed at Nundroo where we had to stay close to the caravan because of the snakes and now we are in WA at Madura where we have to beware of 1080 fox baits! We do have an exciting life.
