[November 16 th , 1956] 2.15. Max was away working, so Michael 
and I walked a mile or so over to the 
bush. We could not find the Speckled 
Warblers Max had found but we did 
see a LITTLE CUCKOO-SHRIKE there. Mike had 
his introduction to the real business of 
bird-watching. 
It was a cold day with showers 
sweeping over from the west so we 
decided to stay with Max and Helen 
that night. Mike found a bed, and 
though I could easily have had an 
early night, we sat chatting in front 
of the fire till 11.0, when I settled on 
the floor to sleep. 
NOVEMBER 17 th [1956] It was a much finer 
morning and we were off by 8.00 am. 
We cut across to the Henty Highway and 
travelled north to Glen Isla where we 
turned right down a track. It was thick 
wet sand and Max stuck twice. However 
that was easy to get out of and we 
eventually camped 4 miles down that
