[6^^ October 1954] We were off at 9.0 and made a 
fairly swift journey home, due south. 
I had a walk about Dunolly 
where I saw the YELLOW-TUFTED HONEYEATER, 
DIAMOND FINCH, and RESTLESS FLYCATCHER. 
We bought some sand wiches at 
Ballarat and had lunch some 17 
miles further on. But the bush was 
very quiet - no Sitellas! And 
home at 3.0 pm, the end of the 
holiday. 
Though it was only meant 
to be a family holiday, with birds 
taking a second place, it was in 
fact very successful orinthologically. I 
met Condon and Favaloro and 
tolled [guess] up a list of 166 (incl. 7 introduced 
species) - a very large total for the 
slam-on-the-brakes type of bird-watching. 
Four days saw 60 birds and 
another four over 50. A very good 
holiday.
