Thi Feb. Wca. continues fair. Last night flew at 10,000 feet 27. over a big storm south of Innis' falls. Mr. Gilbert Bates with entomologist Tom Burdett drove us up the range & behind the Miranda Falls (whilst the road does not reach) to visit an experimental sugar plot. Rock at 1.30. In from put out stains to bulbs in B.P.'s warehouse. In Ewing (5 o'clock) met Mr. Gallup (Main Roads Comm.) for drinks & at 8 pm attended meeting of Cairns Orchid Society. Sat, Feb. The Cairns Nat. Hist. Soc. took us up to Atherton Tablelands. 28. Members of the party; Len, Van, myself: Ernie Gordon Stephens, George Bates, Tom Wells. We breakfasted at Kuranda then drove via Mareeba to Gyorgobure only 4 miles from the isolated rain scull of Lake Eacham, where we booked rooms & left our luggage. Then we went east to slope south of Battle Creek overlooking the sea (distant) when Len searched for a special type of vine. Had luck in the "bush". Van hunter spidus battles. Return to Eacham at 4 pm. There Van & I set traps along Wrights Creek near the lake. That night Van & I were out in Eacham sent with Kent Limp. I shot 2 Pseudorheinus arcteri & a Thelyole stigraticus. Sun. Feb. 29 Next morning steaming till 11 a.m. Cara left cabin but George Bates returned for me & Van. We lunched in the bush near Lake Eacham. Supper at Kuranda. Home about 8 pm. Main impression is the very restricted area of the rain scull, the great variety of deforestation of the tablelands to make dairying corn country; the abundance of eucalyptus "fruit". (On Safety) Mon. Tues. Thurs. Arranged fateful with Main Roads Commission to drive up to Chillagoe caves after date. Moved our collected material to new quarters (Mrs. Ames) & spread them out. Went with Ernie Stevens to see of big fox camps.
