 David Stead's nature studies were well arranged. Perhaps the best was "legless lizard" - coiled symmetrically to reveal its anatomy. There were good studies of rock lilies and other flowers, including an artistic and delicate black and white photograph of "Pomaderris ferruginetum." His photograph of a reunion camp-fire gathering was as clear as if taken in daylight, even the wrapt and amused expression on faces were perfectly clear. He had some excellent tree studies, particularly of the big tree in Bluegum Forest. An interesting variation was one which he styled "Riveriera Sydneiensis" - taken from near Rose Bay, with nothing but trees, beach and water to be seen. The photograph of the "Tigers" on the edge of Tiwilla Canyon was one of the old ones that never fades.
-Allan Hardie had some varied exhibits. Perhaps his best were of Kosciusko. Seamon Hut looked like some quaint Chinese structure and made a good study, the hut itself and foreground rocks, being highlighted by the sun. Kosciusko from Lake Albina was a good portrayal of the rolling tops of Australia's roof.

 Malcolm MicGregor can be depended on to produce some vivid and original prints, and his main subject - the Main Range, Kosciusko - lent itself well to his style. One of Mount Lee was fine composition of dark landscape, glistening snow, and light wisps of the whitest cloud. Another, taken from beneath the overhanging edge of a snow drift, caught the smooth rounded snow curves and shadows, and contrasted them with the landscape beyond. A photograph of a different tyre, but equally atmospheric, was that of a muddy road on Broger's Creek, taken in the dawn light. Mud, early morning light and dark foliage are not easy to depict, but the effect was most realistic.

Shoo the protesting Prima D. down and arouna the side of*rialoo. It will then make for a gap and flutter almost exhausted to the riverbed.

+The next day should be spent, not in lounging idly in the sun, but rather by climbing a grassy mountain, grassy on the far side, not the side you climb, of course. The Primadonna should be carefully put to bed on the evening preceding the recital.

+Up at dawn, and drive P.D. up the hillside. If you can find an open grassy ledge with a timber homestead on it, so much the better. If you can arrange for the P.D. to have It's palm read, do so much the better again. An excellent man for this is John Barratt. He says the most encouraging things; some are so devastating in their as to be almost uncanny. Try and avoid the P.D. being told "that It is in love with two men and to be human when making It's choice." (This tends to make the P.D. broody and lose voice.)

+After this mental conditioning, lure the P.D. up to the top of the mountainside with a promise of a lorry large enough to hold 20 people. If the lorry happens to be parked near Sandy Creek, so much the better. Drive It rapidly through the afternoon air, sitting in the open tray of the lorry until Mossvale, 14 miles away.

-If You can arrange for the Primadonna to tuck all this away, It should then be ready for the recital.
-This recipe was proved on Bill Hall's Caizialoo -'llarrurga creek - Meryla walk, not once, but ten times. Ten Primadonnas of various species with almost identical conditioning were able to completely drown the heavy orchestration provided by Commissioner Hartigan. His symphony of Four 7Aleels played on two rails is a most exacting background for 10 voices. Yith this modern treatment the voices are able to last for the whole period of 3 hours - at exactly 3 hours to the minute the party could be disgorged from its birdlike box on to the platform, guaranteed to have had e'very note rung completely from it! - and to have given much joy to those TprivileFca to hear the Recital.
