APR:6 Poor trapping - Rain gets blame - only 1 Rattus, 1 Hydromys, + 2 Mus (caught in Barracks) - A vacation! Rebaited traps heavily in A.M. Showers all day. Geoff had phone message giving definite arrival + unloading dates for the 5/8 time. Today our party should be at the summit and making their collections. Geoff still doing cooking - Poor weather for his collecting, Pinned-out + cleaned skulls after dinner. The trail to the trap line: cross barbed wire fence near barracks, across small brook on stepping stones, under another fences (the cane fields are all enclosed to keep the horses + cattle out), along a long grass trail, past 2 fern trees near a small brook - the cloud-capped ridge of B.T. always in the background to the west, another fence, brook + fence, then a long uphill stretch past the cane fields, up to a wild raspberry patch where you turn into the rain forest - this is where a pair of laughing jackasses or tooooburras make the air loud with their cracklings, across a wild banana grove into the scrub.
