So we met at Tumut on the first of May, and Lisle Matchott called for us in his car and drove us around the town to se the trees in the glory of their autumn colouring.
-Round a bond in the road we cam suddenly to the little hotel. It sits right on the road at the foot of the mountains, and in the back garden the Tumat river and the Joan:ma Crock moot. The hight T,cky banks are good places to fish from, and below the rapids there is a swimming pool. A flying fox is the only way of getting across the river dryshod since thc footbridge was swept away in the last flood.

+Thc drive along the Tumut river provided every new vistas or delightful scenery where willow trees and gums framed the swiftly flowing streams. Each bend of the road reveals something different, and one feels that the car travels much too quickly through the beautiful valley. On the right hand side of the road the steep wooded hills hid the Bogongs from sight, and on the left the land sloped down to the river and beyond farm houses appeared tucked away in the midst of orchards. Passing through Blowering we saw the men employed by the Irrigation Commission drilling for rock bottom. A dam may be built here some time in the future, and the waters of the Tumut will cover the valley as far as Talbingo.

Way up near its beginning there is a big smooth rock mass known as Black Perry. It can be seen from the valley as well as from the Yarrangobilly road and looks like an elephant's head.

We decorated the little Dance Hall which is used as a church on Sundays, with chrysanthamams and dahlias from the garden and Autamn leaves and Berries and great branches of Poplar. After the ceremony we were invited to the wedding breakfast and the dance which ended at midnight.
