There are not many traffic lights & the average driver has no thought of giving a pedestrian a break. It looks as if Australians will continue to be a lean, agile people. A very few big cars are seen. Mostly they are the small Holden, made in Australia by General Motors & Australian capital. The taxis, too, are very small. There is little room in them for baggage, so the driver puts four boys in the trunk, a charger extra for it. Yesterday I had a heart-warming experience in Sydney. I had had to bring my own bags downstairs at the hotel. The morning was slightly hot & muggy & I was uncomfortable in a suit I had worn all the way from New York. Took a Taxi & the TAA air terminal, the air line (free) bus out to the airport. Was part way out on the bus when I realized a new Zeica M3 camera I have from the National Geographic was missing. I had been carrying it tucked over my shoulder & thought I must have left it at a Carter court at the air terminal. A call from the TAA office at the airport brought the information that the camera had not been picked up. Then I saw my Taxi driver of earlier in the morning. Three hours after me, he found the camera in his back seat, tried to find me at the terminal, the driver out to the airport. He did not want to take the £20. I gave him. Sat-Funday. Went on a visit to brother Eric at Sprwick & overnight at Aunt SETT's at Toowoomba. Back in Brisbane ca. 9-10 PM Funday. Much rain is rait in Toowoomba. Townly deluged with abnormally high rainfall all this year. Springs breaking out through the pavement of Mitch in Toowoomba. The other Villan drove down from Sydney to see me.
