[9+10.3.48] Then down the Wild Dog Road - 18 miles of 
hair-pin bends round which the car slithered on a 
very rough surface. The first bird in evidence 
was the BLUE-WINGED PARROT, three of which were 
seen on both journeys there and back (four times, 
in the same place. On the second morning they 
were being chased by a GREY GOSHAWK which they 
easily out-distanced. A KESTREL, GOLDFINCHES, BLACKBIRDS, 
RED-BROWED FINCHES and PIPITS were seen on 
this road as it wound down the steep, bald valley. 
We lunched at Apollo Bay looking over 
the rocks and water by the pier. GULLS and 
CRESTED TERNS were abundant. On the second 
day, besides a solitary GANNET there were at 
least seven BLACK-BROWED ALBATROSSES circling in the 
bay just beyond the pier - an extraordinary and 
most gratifying sight. Back up the long wind 
to Burtons Track where we saw a RUFOUS BRISTLE- 
BIRD cross the road and several PIED CURRAWONGS. 
Two SCARLET ROBINS were seen and little new 
except a FAIRY MARTIN at BEECH FOREST until we 
came down to GELLIBRAND where there were DUSKY- 
WOOD-SWALLOWS, WHITE-NAPED HONEYEATERS and a pair of 
COLLARED SPARROW-HAWKS. At Barangarook on Tuesday 
there were a flock of GANG-GANGS.
