11 th DECEMBER 1955 After breakfast we went 
to Mates Rest, a beech gully just off the Ocean 
Rd and attempted to collect a specimen of 
a SCRUB-WREN which Hugh Wilson thinks is 
more closely related to the Tasmanian 
bird, in that area. No luck. Then 
down the "Bower-Bird" Gully on the 
Ocean Road where we had the 'find' 
of the week-end - a ROSE ROBIN. An 
excellent view at close quarters for a 
quarter of an hour or so. We called 
in and had a cuppa with Winnie 
Denny at Glen Aire and came 
home via the Gellibrand Valley and 
the Black's Bridge Rd. 
22 nd JANUARY 1956 We commenced our 
Caravan Holiday complete with kids 
and dog at 4:10 when we left Fay's 
flat in Oorong Rd and got to the 
most successful of nights as Bardolph 
managed to roll in some filth, and 
the kids were sick.
