[6.2.50] the wrong path we climbed up to the three 
large (ungodlike [guess]) stones. On the way I add 
to my list for the plateau the BROWN HAWK, the 
SCARLET ROBIN and the KESTREL. At the tip 
was a flock of SILVEREYES. We then descended 
on the other side a steep path among snow- 
gums which reminded me greatly of the 
track down from the saddle between Mt 
Rufous and Mt Hugel to the Hugel Lakes (p.110). 
Then, striking left round the base of the 
mountain we went to the head of the 
reservoir and on to Mt Dunne. 
The path led round the foot of 
this for more than half the circle before 
we came to the track up. It was a steep 
climb and at the top we found Dick + 
Pam Darling, boiling their billy. It was 
the best view we had obtained so far 
of the whole plateau and Alps. We 
made a quick descent (seeing a few 
BROWN THORNBILLS which were new to the 
plateau) and walked to our car and 
so back for Sunday dinner.
