[November 2 nd 1949] Michael Sharland met me at TAA [Trans-Australia Airlines?] and I 
spent half-an-hour or so talking to him at 
Hadley's before dinner. Then Mr & Mrs Crosbie 
Morrison turned up, Mr & Mrs Bryant, 
Peter Moore from NSW, Max Bourne (SA [South Australia]), Carol 
Jackson (Melb [Melbourne]) A and Elou Prescott (Melb [Melbourne]) . We 
had dinner together and went off to the 
Museum where the Congress was opened by 
Lady Binney. She was followed by some 
excellent colour films of birds by Crosbie 
Morrison. 
Nov 3 rd 1949. The congress resumed at 10.00 am 
and adjourned at 10.45 for a civic 
reception by the Lord Mayor's deputy. The 
congress continued in the afternoon. In the 
evening we went to Michael Sharland's house 
for drinks and food. From there we 
went over to Miss Moseys where we were 
shown Norman Laird's colour film of 
the Macquarie Island expedition - unedited 
and the first pub l ished public showing of 
the film. It was a superb show and 
the highlight of the Congress to date.
