[February 2 nd 1957] lunch near Warragul and were in 
Melbourne by 2.15. As I was leaving 
the caravan at the Dunnets [guess] a NANKEEN 
NIGHT-HERON flew over the valley! 
It was a superb holiday - as 
caravanning with family, and really 
very good for birds - a total of 
100 over the trip - 82 of which were 
at Malacoota. New birds - Black- 
faced Flycatcher and Brown Warbler; 
Red-tailed Black Cockatoo ( unsatisfactory) 
Lewin Honeyeater (so far only heard 
at Derra) and the Purple-gaped 
Honeyeater which I have in my 
notes as plentiful in the Mangroves 
round Mackay, the identification of 
which has always worried me.
