Dear Jim 
With any luck this will reach you before \'OU leave California* 1^11 also 
try to have Judy phone from San.Diego* 
All my family will be in the JSA while yorJre here* Therefore we can do 
pretty much what we want. I *ve a vehicle booked for the duration. I still 
can’t, however, give you any idea re additional money. Six weeks-into our 
new financial year and there is budget! God knows w’-hat is going on. 
Apparently the Museum hasn’t paid any accounts since March. Thats judging 
by the nasty phone calls my T.O. has had to deal with. 
to the Museum on the 21st, I’m 1^-21. from the airport and don’t relish a 
0400 start. Sorry. The Museum is quite easy to get to. By taxi it will 
cost about $15Aust, Ask to be taken to The Australian Museum at College 
and William St, Wat ch they don’t overcharge. The guards at the William 
St. entrance to the Museum will know you are coming. I’ll try to get to 
the Museum by 0700/0730, but can get trapped in traffic. 
A cheaper alternative to a taxi is the Govt, airport bus which will let 
you off near Town Hall. This is about a 4 block walk to the Museum & is 
what I normally do. It depends on how much luggage you’ve got. You can 
also get off at Central Railway & put extra luggage in their cloak room or 
lockers. Take a local train from Central to Museum Station & walk across the 
park to the Museum. 
Looking forward to seeing you. 
Cheer^
