[16.10.55] Impressive I have so far seen in 
Australia. We then went up the 
mount [mountain] - it was cold with a light 
drizzly rain and we had our 
lunch (an inadequate amount of 
sandwiches) half way up. At the 
top it was snowing and blowing 
hard and we had the most 
perfect walk round Lake Dobson, in 
thick snow. 
We returned (without ever catching 
up with the main party again) through. 
Plenty, and we visited the Hatcheries. 
Then by the same route home. Birds 
of the day were the BLACK CURRAWONG 
and EWING'S THORNBILL on Mt Field, 
CHESTNUT TEAL and CASPIAN TEAL on the 
Derwent. I was also surprised to 
see a PACIFIC GULL up above New 
Norfolk. At New Norfolk we had 
afternoon tea at the Sun full of 
antiques and went through their 
fantastic honeymoon cottage.
