1948. I knew him in 1936-1937 when Dras on the 2nd Archbold New Guinea Expedition. The dysentery (or impetition?) was his flaw. They have a lovely garden. He has caught bandicoots Brotom ocelata at foot of janda beside river with fox traps, and used to have Tachypleurus at times - also Baeodocous and Trichoramus. In janda many interesting plants: Lagerstroemia, Ironstein, Plumbya, Acacia, Ink a couple of photos of them (the Bryophytes). Mon, Jan. 5. Bram came to the museum to met Mark. He & I took supper with Mr. and Mrs. C.T. White. Smith, White's assistant was also there. Tues, Jan. 6. The permit for the Archbold party was bought over in the morning. I took my gear to the station at 11, and left on the 3.20 train. Was introduced to Mr. O'Shea, politician for out in the western line area, who knew a good deal about the county. Also met W. Allen, agriculturist, of the National Research Station, 20 miles S.E. of Cunnamulla, who suggested I go out to them. Chased my present district from Mungallala to Angellala on advice. A scout named Buchanan got me at Toowoomba. Noted some (doubtful) interesting places:- Lockyer Creek; 556 feet; banks lined with lush vegetation. Murphy's Creek, 796 ft. Some woody but creek smaller. Rocky cliff opposite Calabria, nearing summit. Reached Toowoomba on Tues - 7.15 p.m. Wed, Jan 7. Awoke after we left Roma about 5 a.m. We were going through a greasy county almost deforested. A gully Lay's suspended body of water at Eurella, 1262 ft., 382 miles from Brisbane but no shape of Tennant until after leaving Mitchell, 372 miles. There are low hills both north and south of Mitchell about 10 miles from the railway. Another hill with J. Llandlisi, 384 miles. Quite good underground at 392 miles between Ambroola and Oolie, 393 m. At Mungallala, 400, when I had to take a stay, I found everything cleared for miles. Both indigo and trigonot present in about equal quantities. Morison is quite a little town, with rocky out crops to S.W. Just report is the "natural"
