[19.10.52] we followed a cattle track off to the water trough 
where we sat for a while looking down on the 
ti-tree* [tea-tree], listening to the whistlers but seeing nothing 
new. Then we moved on to the Parker R. where 
we chatted to Clarence Marriner, [guess] and where we 
came across a party of ORANGE-WINGED SITELLAS. 
Down by the river we heard a SACRED 
KINGFISHER and a female PINK ROBIN. We found 
the ground too boggy to go down to the mouth 
of the Parker so returned to our camp for 
lunch where we heard and saw the SPOTTED 
PARDALOTE. 
After lunch we returned to the Ocean 
R, and leaving our cars at the head of 
the track we had explored two days ago. We 
went down some 2 % miles through fairly 
good scrub to the Calder R., where we sat and 
watched for Pink Robins. However we only saw 
two females which we definitely identified as 
this species. We also heard the MISTLETOE-BIRD. 
It was a long, tiring walk up back to the road 
where we sat by our car and finished a 
bottle of beer. We said goodbye to Mrs.
