Georgetown

It is now 30+ C didn't know it got this hot in winter.  We were right next to the golf course.


First you rake the path smooth


then you take the measuring string attached to the flag pole and remove your ball from its "lie" to the "path" and putt!  Apparently they are on Golflink!
  
Then you arrive at the clubhouse for a beer and get chatting and told all the stories of fossicking for gold. They're not just stories.  Cathy, behind the bar tells us of her and her husbands finds and offers to show us
some her her jewelery.   She told us that if Dave hadn't found more than 10oz in a day he didn't go to the pub.

This town also has a museum of the most amazing collection of rock crystals and gem stones from all over. Also exhibits of fossils and fossilized wood.



Really nice small park being run for the next 12 months by Les who has
sold his vineyard and taken up a gypsy life for a while.  He fancies himself as a fossicker!



It was 35C and we had had to wash and polish Bugalugs as we had been to Cobald Gorge and were covered in red dust!
