[30.11.51] of WHITE COCKATOOS. We turned eastwards 
at Cavendish and on the plains saw 
the BROWN SONG-LARK and WHITE-FRONTED CH[AT] 
In the streets of Dunkeld were PURPLE- 
CROWNED LORIKEETS and the plains 
beyond were GALAHS and CORELLAS,. Through 
Glen Thompson to Lake Bolac, I was getting 
near my 100 birds for the trip and 
it was beginning to get dark. 
Then on our left was a large 
lake covered in birds. I turned down 
towards it and saw COOT, HOARY-HEADED 
GREBE, WHITE-HEADED STILT, PINK EARED DUCK, 
and BLUE-BILLED DUCK. Made it with 
one to spare! After Streatham we 
saw a WHITE EGRET. I am all against 
the 'bird-lister' but when you do get near 
the country it does catch you. 
Home in the dark through 
Skipton, Lismore, Cressy and so to 
Colac at 9.10 pm. It was a really 
wonderful holiday for Joan and I with 
birds not coming first.
