Friday Feb.6. That evening, beside the creek black magpius we were visited by a few my large pale gray warty with white marks. Later I put in the ledbelly and was wrecked to the top of the hills but saw only, thp I did hear. (I a wallaby). Vallis has a tame one known - the P. dorsalis. The lack of grasses in the dry areas is really striking. It looks as though they almost died out, perhaps bleeding up again after the rains (which are now overdue). The fire hazard in Brewers creek was very real. Many further dry lanterns were everywhere. We built our fire in the green bed among the stones. The lot: The total failure of the traps embried with Vallis' description of another locality with permanent water, induced me to clear out of Brewers Creek at once. We packed up and went back to Vallis's, intending to make a very early start next morning. The strike sees say bat. Feb.7. We were joined by "Close" Vallis on our trip to the "Sepentria", 5 miles north of Gut Hedbow about 30 miles northwest of Rockhampton. "Step" is one of a fine series of ox bows, dug out quite deep - to 8 feet - but closed off at intervals. These arise in the coastal hills & flows east into the Fitzroy river. On the way out passed a stella dead nearly decomposed Aepypterus. Vallis says P. dorsalis is commonest wallaby, but the whip tail and the swamp wallaby occurs, (as does the pure grey kangaroo). Along the "Bugs" cattle, blue water lilies; Kaye then, "black" ducks; Black swans (3) seen. Close caught a catfish & a tortoise with horn r kins. A swampy ruined by cattle. Dorsalis wallabies seen on low "hill", much turn-up my barley in wood. Fair front on "hill". Plenty of dust and 2 kinds of stalks eaten by them. That night we hunted. Two wallaby (dorsalis), 1 red tail (Lenifurine), 1 Schorinotale (brown), 1 Thistoumns; 1? Locus | Hydromp, 1 Mus(?).
