We got off to a good start at 9.0 a.m. 
(61) 
in the cool, weather, turning right at 
(98) 
Genoa, having departed from Malacoota 
to the curious shrieking of the RAINBOW 
LORIKEET. In the bush beyond Genoa 
I saw a YELLOW-TAILED COCKATOO. The 
road got more corrugated and rough in 
N.S.W [New South Wales] and we stopped several times to 
get plants. We turned down to Boyd 
Town where we had an excellent 
morning tea and saw high above a 
young, pale WEDGE-TAILED EAGLE. 
Beyond Eden the road and 
bush was rather dull and we added 
a JACKY WINTER to the list. At Bega we 
went off to the right to Bermagui - a 
delightful road and a relief after the 
last 60 miles. We stopped just before 
Bermagui to collect the seeds of a 
new Callistemon and I saw both the 
WHITE-NAPED and BROWN-HEADED HONEYEATERS 
as well as a flock of PIED CURRAWONG and 
a WHITE-BREASTED SEA EAGLE sailing high
