The start of another working week for Terry and his mates, Bird and Bailey continue prospecting the Murru Yilyah outcrop. Terry, Colson and Mick move the camp to a detached hill north of the outcrop and set up under a bloodwood tree, mind the ants. The short vehicle trip has its difficulties, bogged to the axles and one of the camels has to give a tow, even the thirty Aboriginals from Wednesday get involved by pushing and gathering branches to shove under the wheels. Camp in order by 4.00pm and Terry has to move the ever inquisitive Aboriginals out a couple of hundred yards. Terry sets off to guide the prospectors in, not an easy task, the hills and cliffs cause many echos and confuse the men, they don't arrive until six and have little to report. more storms this evening with enough rain to cause camp to be packed under cover.
