Grany gave me some photos of natives, ants, a good picture of the cliffs of Carnarvon Range (which I'll not have time to visit); A Tachyglottus was seen at Offham 2 months ago. "Tasty years back possums & bears" (koalas) occurred ably by the Barrego River." A few bats sometimes seen. Rats (wallaby) occasionally taken. No regular rat born. A few mice, then, Bilbies and skink common. Saw steep sprayed. This is a land of spirits: hours: the "julianised bar", a corn cockle that may have come from Arrecie, Other minute bars.
