G'day Willem
Just having a look at the
Lake Mackay area...did you happen upon a place either Thomson??-Thomas??-Thompson??
Hill. I think it may be a tad North of your location..
We set up a antenna array on that
hill in 1970 (in the Army)..trying to get a link down to Giles..

G'day Signman
There are Thompson Hills near Percival Lakes but they are over near the CSR. Then there is Thomas
Hill in the
Warburton Ranges. Thomson
Hill is south of
Perth.
1970 is waaaay back in the dark ages. Can you remember that far back? LOL I have difficulty.

Yes. We had considered going west to
Yagga Yagga via Lake Lukas and in the direction of Thomas Peak but the spinifex was very dense and so we opted to skirt the lakes instead and head north to
Ngulupi Outstation and Balgo.

Hi Willem,
glad to hear of your safe arrival
home. I believe you are heading off again, once repairs are made to your vehicle. Where are you heading off to next?

Hi Annette
We are going for a short jaunt to Central Victoria tomorrow to meet up with some amateur prospectors and hopefully to learn something about finding the shiny stuff.
Thanks once again for your help while we were out in the desert.
Just had to clean up the GQ radiator and repack the trailer. All systems go!!!!...lol

Well it beats your sticker at Veevers Crater.
Is that where the
rockhole is? It certainly looks like a likely spot on google earth. From the '57 report - "a permanent
rock pool at the head of a creek which drains into Lake Hazlett". Is that
Nicker Creek?
I notice than in Peter's picture of it there is a lot less water in it now than the one on the web:

Your challenge to "beat it" has been noted. I will do my best lol.

Yes, it is close to the
rock hole. Water capacity of the
rock hole is down by 50%.
Still, about 2000 Zebra, Painted Firetail and Double Bar Finches kept us amused with their antics at the
waterhole. They would fly up the small
gorge with the noise of an approaching jet....lol

Yes, it does qualify but where is the sticker?....LOL
Funny, I never get time to think of Geocaching or Confluencing. Too busy looking where to put the front wheels or walking along an escarpment looking for art or artefacts.
Enjoy your trip!
