 turned onto the Lake Highway. Then the
weather turned against us, teeming rainstorms
with only brief intervals between, We
climbed rapidly onto the plateau where
the rain turned to driving snow. We
had morning tea at Breona during a 
brief interval from snowing, but
virtually the visibility was nil which
was a great pity with such good
scenery around us. A last fill of
petrol at Bronte and so to Lake
S[ain]t Clair where it has, since we
arrived at 2.0 pm, been raining, hailing
or, as it is now, snowing heavily. But
there is no wind, and it is very peaceful
and private and we are both very
happy. The wallabies (many with young)
and pademelons are extremely tame and
I have photo[graph]s of them being fed by
Joan. They are a delight and
have thrilled Joan so much that they
have made this part of the trip quite worthwhile.
