[25 th September 1948] we got as close to the swamp in my 
car as we could. I then left it there, 
transferred to the jeep and we went down 
a hundred yards or so from the swamp. 
As we walked over the brow of the hill 
there was the female sitting in the middle 
of the swamp. Immediately she came off 
and stalked off to join her mate at 
the other end of the dam or swamp. Jim [guess] 
left me and I walked on down to a 
stony barrier over- [photo] 
looking the Swamp. 
At this end was 
a dam and the 
swamp gradually 
dried as it went 
westward so that 
the ground at the far end was firm and 
dry. The photo shows this dam, and just 
on the skyline the trees surrounding Nangana 
homestead. The swamp extends half a mile 
to the right in the photo. 
The birds to be seen from that
