Turn Boy planned & returned to the attack on Mt Tozer. Aneroid
read kept in terms of the map contours. The last 300 feet
To the crest of the ridge I was ascending yesterday was dense
"turkey bush" a very tangled trail to go through. It was
mixed with loose rock (granite). The curr was needed
about 11.30. On its western side low open rain forest,
which immediately replaced the brush, for much easier
going. The ridge cut ran due south. I paralleled it
50 feet below in the rain forest. After lunch cut on south
for another turn.
A bandicoots nest 200 feet below the crest on the east side.
