At 4.30 a 5th boy Noadie returned with the horses; a note from Linn to Marie, also a 7 tin kangaroo in a sack. It appared that Roy & Willies, sent for water, fired two up a tree, yelled for a gun (with Noadie) took up to them) + shot one— the female. It was cut down at once. I injected it ready for skinning in the morning. Rebaited traps. Packed in medicines for my move to the scrub with Froston tomorrow. About 5 p.m. the horses & their driver returned from the top camp, bringing a tree climbing kangaroo — the first for the collection and a few examples of the new Dendrolagus bennettianus.
