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
