Two in the Bush
“Hunting of the Snark The temperature in the cab of the Land-Rover was soaring somewhere in the nineties, and we were hot, dusty and tired, having driven up from Melbourne, through New South Wales and over the border into Queensland. The contrast between these blue and cloudless skies and the fierce sun compared with the freezing drizzle we had been subjected to in Melbourne was most marked.
However, none of us dared complain, for only twenty-four hours previously we had been cursing the col...d and praying for sunshine. Now we had it in abundance, and the sweat trickled lavishly down our faces. Presently the road curved gently down into a valley filled with rustling pink-trunked eucalyptus trees, and by the side of the road was a neat notice-board on which was printed.
DRIVE CAREFULLY KOALAS CROSS HERE AT NIGHT I knew then that we were getting close to our objective, David Fleay’s Fauna Reserve at Barren Pines.
David Fleay is probably one of Australia’s best-known naturalists.MoreLess
