Jan. 23 Traveled to Palmnatt (by train to wait) with Boris. Prolonged journey of three hours. My first tram carriage in from 1760 of repair. The main rail road would not often. The Queensland Railways are in a very poor condition. In afternoon drove about 82 miles north along the Bruce Highway through mostly closely settled farming area by pineapple, bananas (chiefly to their fungus), sugarcane, dairying. Then through the town of Nambour, jardine, Emmet & Cooney. Highway road for the most part, but in poor repair in some parts, & in some places too narrow. Thursday Jan. 24 Back to Brisbane by car (79 miles by road). Bid good The spring in town & in evening last dinner with the Walkers at Hotel. Fri. Jan. 25 Visited The Queensland Museum & Talked with Ernest & Blake. Blake [illegible] for flora Macquaria; should be finished by June. He & Lindsay will arrange them to work on my 1863 Cape York collection. About Golden Fruits, E.T.B.D. (c) Jan Mackie, B.C.S.I.R.O. plant collector. Pons (many drug research). I am to examine an area about the head of the Escape River where in 1763 I obtained from the air what appeared to be a large case of rain forest. Wanted hope that the Australian Government will agree to publishing a complete enumeration of my Cape York plants. Very valuable from a plant's geographical viewpoint, as my collection is the only important, properly stocked collection now made in the area. Visited N.S. Pearce & Mrs. T.F. Whit at Margaret Point. They said good bye at The Queen- land Museum. Mackie's last print finished a week before dinner on geological history in an annual of 30 school gardens. Traveled to buy knitted woolen goods (for gifts). Back home, but stocks are not opened until March.
