16.9.52  We both had a good night, Max in the car
and myself beside it, though there were some

heavy showers. We were up shortly after 5.0 AM,
had finished breakfast, tidied up and were off
at 7.0 to look at the scrub beside the river.
The going was very thick, particularly fallen
trees and saplings from the flood. At one
spot we heard moving [guess] and grunting calls
and Max saw what he thought was a 'green'
SATIN BOWER-BIRD but we are not positive of 
the identification. We heard and caught the
nearest glimpse of an OLIVE WHISTLER.
  We were back at the car at 9.0 AM
and after packing and writing notes set off in it 
at 10.0. We went through Chapple Vale on the
Lavers Hill R[oa]d. We stopped and watched 
them winching logs up from the gully - an
interesting and incredibly muddy operation. 
It was now very cold and began to rain hard.
At Lavers Hill I rang home but could only
speak to Nancy Squires. I learnt that supplies
could only be got at Beech Forest so went off there
dropping Max in the patch of scrub at Weeaproinah.
