25th September 1954. â”€ The start of a
holiday for just Joan and myself â”€ motoring
to Adelaide. It was a Saturday
[margin][circled]19[/circled][/margin]
afternoon and we left later than we had
meant to, for Portland. It was a
fast trip and not much notice was
taken of birds â”€ just a stop to watch 
some SWAMP-HARRIERS; the only other
two observations of any interest, being
the BLACK-SHOULDERED KITE, and a family
of young SPUR-WINGED PLOVER crossing the
road. A total of a mere nineteen
birds was seen -
EASTERN SWAMPHEN                 HOARY-HEADED GREBE
SILVER GULL                                   WHITE IBIS
WHITE EGRET                                    WHITE-FACED HERON
WHITE-NECKED HERON                 SWAN
WHISTLING EAGLE                           SWALLOW
MAGPIE LARK                                    NOISY MINER
RED WATTLE-BIRD                          PIPIT
RAVEN                                                 WHITE-BACKED MAGPIE
