2/10/23 Menzies

 


    Well , we finally left Leonora after spending five and a half months wondering around the bush . Didn't get too far down the road though , stopping at Menzies for a few nights . 
   Pre poll voting for the referendum was at the shire council chambers , but only for 3 hours . Voting done we headed out to a pending lease to have a detect . 
    There's a great Anzac mural painted on the wall near the memorial plaques .

   

    Luck was with us , we managed to find a couple of small pieces not far from where we found our others earlier in the year .



    This is the view not far from town , up on a hill above where we found them .



    Caution has to be taken when walking around here , there are lots of open mine shafts that aren't barricaded off , it wouldn't be hard to fall in . This one's about 8m deep !


      A few days searching around various leases , picking up lots of rubbish , but no more gold .  
  Some cleaning up done , it was time to move again . Here's map link :- https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1djSy8DbeohJr34iKuya5f-zOqIO0Qes&usp=sharing
