high rock another that I missed was sitting on the limb of a tree about & mile down the road I saw an Owl he looked very large and distinctly haws. March 8 1935 In the morning I visited my traps on the hill none of which were gone and set three into bunches in the glass hill slope the rest of the morning was spent in climbing to the hill which was steep and slippery. From the top I could look over some twenty mile or more of rough (very) timbered country the forest apparently got thicker towards the mountains all of which I could only see the bottoms as they were in the clouds. While sitting to heighten callant set of traps I saw and shot at a white parrot (or hawk) and a bunch of three red parrots just before I gained the summit ridge I saw a pair of Centropas one of which was calling but I did not shoot either as it would have made me go to far out of my way and it was somewhat wild and quite fast. I got back to camp a few minutes before 12:00 o'clock landed I developed film No. XXX of which 8-19 were taken on the drive from Sydney to Panorama House and Lady Nos 20, 21 & 23 are of Hannabada native village store miles long east from Port Mosby No 24 got Mosby from Hannabada Nos 24-25 View of Harbour from Three Mile Hill.
