+"I finished up my 1ast patient ut 9 a.m. Wednesday morning, then toured off with bike and pack to Central and caught the train to Goulburn. Rode out of Goulburn about 4.30 p.m. and covered 20 miles, I suppose, before camping for the night. All road signs have been removed (war precaution) and I didn't have a road map or a watch, so conditions were as near to primitive and breaking into virgin country, as they could be.
-primitive and breuking into virgin c.ountry, n.s they could be.

+There was a howling southerly against me all the way and about dusk it begun to spot rain, so, as my entire worldly possessions consisted at that moment of a sleeping bag, a singlet, a plate and a knife, I bethought me to look for shelter, and that pretty rapidly. The country was bare und open and stoney and stumpy, with no shelter even for a wallaby so I took to examining all bridges and culverts passed over in the hope of finding one without water under it. Ah, thank Heuven, (as Mandus would say), here at last is __the__ perfect camp spot! - a concrete tunnel under the road a yard square whose purpose is to carry storm water into yonder muddy clay pond. Its floor is about 6" above water level at the moment and quite dry. Let us hope there is no flood tide in the night.

+Next day did about a hundred miles and snoozed in a railway paddock or shunting yard under some gum-trees and was woken at 1 a.m. by the Station Master to catch the train south. The Express was crowded, so I put up a card table between two seats and curled up on that in my sleeping bug und slept the sleep of the just till 7 a.m. when the train pulled into Albury.

+Two hundred miles to Melbourne and two days to get there - that is a fairly simple arithmetical calculation. Perfect weuther - no wind - very flat country so 100 miles was wiped off the slate easily by dark. Discovered that all cash was gone bar 8/- which I thought I had better keep in case I had to get the train for the last 30 or 40 miles. So, my child, draw in your belt! Nothing but 2 slices of bread and cheese for breakfast, for dinner and tea for next two days!

+There was no need to get the train at all us I got a lift for 20 miles in a military cattle truck in which some 15 lads were packed. Being in Khaki all I had to do was put on one of their military hats, pull it well down and take no interest in anything whenever we passed other military trucks or were stoppod by officers on road patrol, and all went well. However I could see the young lad driving began to get a bit anxious as we approached the outskirts of the city, so I got him to put me off about 15 miles from town, and pedalled the rest of the way.

+Arrived in about 7 p.m. and rang Perce Woodman - a friend in need to stray Bushwalkers, very like Paddy - and he held out a helping hand to a lady in distress by inviting me to stay with himself and his sister for the night, which invitation was promptly accepted.
