THUR 11 - FRI 12.6.2015: Carole ventured into the corner store for supplies, only $35.00 for 5 articles ($19.00 a kilo for chicken breast - saw the travellers coming)! Meanwhile back at the motorhome Sybil was speaking to Maxine, a local that had been drawn to "Poodle Palace" - Maxine owns Paris, an apricot poodle. On Carole's return Maxine invited us to look at her home which was also a dugout. Totally different décor to Cree and Lindsay's home, but again, an amazing experience to see what can be achieved with the dugouts.
Maxine also showed us a "pineapple" - White Cliffs is the only place where these marvellous (and very rare) pseudomorphic "pineapple" opals have been found. They were formed when a mineral crystal of glauberite (or ikalite) was first replaced by calcite and then opalised. Onward to a day of fossicking for our own pineapple - Carole that is! 
Some situations are so incongruous - here you are sitting in the middle of a field contemplating the fact that it is so eerily quiet that you could literally hear the pin drop when the call comes and you answer the phone "Hello, have you heard of Real Insurance?"
One of the local kangaroos assisted Carole, but there was not much wealth forthcoming - even sadder when the Caravan Park Manager offered Carole one of her 'stones' as an incentive! We had spoken to the owner of the Fossickers Den and decided that we would pay a visit - closed. Love the amenities at White Cliffs - drive on the designated route for fossicking and you will pass the following - Everybody's Toilet, Nobody's Toilet, Somebody's Toilet and Anybody's Toilet.
