+A strange coincidence prompts me to write you - last night - whilst surrounded by a host of admiring mosquitoes - the weather being a little hot and the hour too early to retire behind my protective net - I searched the archives of the Ward Room for some literature - imagine my surprise to find a copy of "The Sydney Bushwalker" - admittedly 'twas an old one - 1938 - and may have been the property of the peace time tenant of our present abode - yet nevertheless it was interesting to read of the doings of one "Jack Debert" - of the activities of teh "conservation Club" (an entirely new section of our activities - at least to me) and details of the secret new weapons of two of the Queensland members - known as Mal & Doug.
