GODWITS of undetermined sp? [species] and 
far out at sea were very large 
numbers of SHEARWATER moving 
South - obviously unidentified also. 
We met the Princes Highway 
again at Tilba and spun along good 
bitumen to Narooma where we had 
afternoon tea and so on to Bateman's 
Bay in cool overcast weather with a 
few scattered drops of rain. We arrived 
at 5.30 pm. Having done 345 miles 
twice filling the tank at Lakes Entrance, 
and no drop had gone into tank 
in the meantime. The car has 
given a little carburettor* [carburettor] trouble today, 
but has not held us up at all - perhaps 
that has helped the mileage. 
I also realized during the day 
that there were three common birds 
seen each day of the trip that had 
not gone into the notebook - WILLIE WAGTAIL, 
SWALLOW and FAIRY MARTIN.
