TUES., MARCH 16, 1948 Mossman Gorge Hydro. Rain last night spoiled trapping - only one Gray Rat - 51 traps out (30 Mus. sp. - 12 #1½ - 9 rat). The 1½'s and rat traps are the only effective traps - 1½'s best of all. Supplies came up from town - including ginger beer. My turn to cook today - sample dinner: canned sausages, peas & tomatoes, papaya, lemon barley drink, toast with black currant jam. Very heavy showers in late p.m. just after I set my traps. Sheltered for a time under rock overhang. Tried to shoot bats at dusk - too short a period. Made box trap - bread bait - for bandicoots. Len & Geoff out collecting. I brought home a fungus. Mr. Gilby & bride called. Said tree-climbing kangaroo is common near Milanda.
