27th November. The Field Naturalists Club of Victoria 
(27) spent the weekend in the district when I was 
asked to act as guide. They came up on 
the Saturday (26 th ) and half stayed at the 
Union [guess] Club and half went out to camp at 
Red Rock. There were about 18 of them. On 
Sunday morning I went out to Red Rock 
about 9.30 am. taking Michael with me for 
the day. There I found the party had 
spent a good night among the pines 
despite a high-wind and same heavy 
showers. They had breakfasted on 
mushrooms - some of the largest specimens 
I have seen grew under the pines. 
We walked to the top of the Rock. It 
blew very strongly from the west - the 
day was grey [crossed out] and [/crossed out] with a few 
driving showers. In the pines were 
very large numbers of GOLDFINCHES and 
MAGPIES. On the lake below were 
SWANS, COOTS, and MUSK DUCK. There were

diving - a surprising thing to do in
