[27^^ March 1955] By the time we had got past the 
swamp we were well to the north 
of our camp so we turned south 
through red-gum country, with 
scattered melaleuca thickets and heath. 
We were well out in our reckoning 
for we walked and walked and 
seemed to get nowhere. At long 
last we picked up a track which we 
recognized as that on which we called 
the "minnow-stream"(p 78). Though 
we picked up the track a full two miles 
from the "minnow-stream" (which was the 
'second-spring' just above the swamp) we 
still had over a mile to go to our 
camp. On this last stretch we saw 
the HOODED ROBIN and a pair of EMUS 
with six young. We got back to the 
car at 6.0 pm - quite exhausted, 
having probably done 15 miles for 
the day, half of it at least since [guess]
