Ann: Lake Goongarrie Nickel Sulphide Drilling Completed, page-42

I hate to be a stick in the mud but the goldfields has recently had widespread heavy rains
The nearest unsealed road is closed to all vehicles

Drilling on salt lakes and rain does not go well together
I remember when I was offsiding on a track rig on Lakeway
When it started raining we just packed up and drove back to Kalgoorlie for some rest and recreation
Over a week later we returned to the lake and found an abundant variety of birds enjoying the pools of water
There was also endless mud and we were spending more time pulling equipment out of bogs than we were drilling

I doubt there would be much opportunity to get the diamond rig onto the lake after it dries out and before the winter rains set in
