  At 9.0 we were off north in a very
peculiar motor train to [crossed out]Mackay[/crossed out] Proserpine, 90 odd 
miles north, stopping at Kohjo and
Bloomsbury for refreshments. The first
half of the journey was through sugar-cane
and then bush which at this point is
almost what I would call open forest - small 
gums (many in flower) with grass beneath. A
very pleasant looking country which made me itch 
to explore it (as I am sure the grass-seed would 
if I had done so). 
  The train (sic) was completely open so 
that we were very pleased it was a good day.
A lot of birds were seen the most interesting 
being a beautiful blue Forest Kingfisher and
a Blue-winged Kookaburra (besides the common 
species. Pardalotes. Parrots and a wren were
seen but all were unidentifiable.
