Sometiig funerous there in which the peradji line is used on our sent in from elsewhere. Black cockatoos (18) fly up. Photo of finest bluff. We were in Chillagoe cave for about an hour. It is a complicated cavern, not art, in which 3 men were once lost for 3 days. A few roof collapses, no doubt used by bats, occur. Mr. Stefford who acts as custodian knows it well. He regretted we used no carbide lamps, which would have illuminated the beauties of the cave better than our spotlights. There was only one species in the cave, to judge from the fruits of several sorts — a Driopterma, we put out about 11.45 and walked a few hundred yards to Darby Cave, a much smaller cavern and wholly bat-less.

The Madonna proved not to be quite called empty — at least there were no bats in it. Then there we drove 2 miles back along the Alma-dun road to Pink Cave. This was my moderate large and not complex.

It had not retired them at all. (sign in). White cockatoos on the way back to Alma-dun which we reached at 6 p.m. At the cave (not seen) "Tank Cave" and at Mungana 11 miles beyond Chillagoe other bat caves are said to exist. Fri. 28th Another very busy day. Left Alma-dun at 7.30 went to Tapps Junction (R.R.) where we drove in a round-about way southward for about 5 miles to Betty Burns Mine, an abandoned tunnel. I had used my last dust-blot cartridge (plane to R.R. strike) the day before I had one, 410 loaded with #8 A.T. This was really
