the head of Tali for Lake Anabone
afternoon we reached the large Dragon
Spring with a flat field & trees
which we had seen on our way out.
We made camp at the roadside.
(4) Our trips caught Micadoes, mere
Swings (squirrel) Springs (quaything)
& Bachelura. Several Red-bellied
spidies were seen here & Probably A.
At daylight we went to goe shooting
in that field near the lake. I
went out in a boat with a fisherman
& got 8 geese. Two of them shot on
the way chance with No. 8! The other
men shot with 4+6. I gave fentel
shot one green winged, many
small grebes were seen also black
cormorants & small white gulls.
Plots of legumole cranes were also
seen. The geese were not mild
all of them being scared by putting
the boat to them & shooting as they
rose above the water. Our camping
place is known as the Dragon Spring
& has a plume erected near its riser. It
comes forth under limestone rocks.
