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.
