 Then the party did what? Went sunbaking! In the rain??? Of course it was raining. In fact, I have spent the last five days checking up with the Astronomer Royal together with the Queensland Weather Bureau, and as this "expedition" occurred shortly before a lunar eclipse (see end of 4th paragraph of Frank's article), the date can be accurately pinpointed because only once in the last two centuries has there been a lunar-eclipse over Hinchinbrook and that came on the only fine night following five weeks of non-stop rain. No wonder the police took Ann away obviously she deserves to be locked away in darkest Bananaland. Foolish girl.

-Then comes the loss of the President. Here for the observant reader is a lesson. Can you spot it? Yes, it was an Error often made by the inexperienced amateur Bird Watcher. It was not an eagle, but the rare Bustard Acrobaticus Rex that lives thereabouts, and the reason that it was up in the craggy heights was that it was blown there by the,anabatic winds

It was not an eagle, but the rare Bustard Acrobaticus Rex that lives thereabouts, and the reason that it was up in the craggy heights was that it was blown there by the anabatic winds that the author confused with the "eternal mists" (unquote). The tropics have strange effects on the winds rushing up and down the mountains morning and evening, and this, the author has been confused (understandably, coming from the frozen plains of the Monaro). What invariably happens is this - and I have seen it myself many times:- A 200 lb Bustard can be picked up by the winds and get hurled against tourists who happen to be lurking at Eyries, and both stunned creatures fall to the cliff base and get impaled on banana trees, and both catch the dreaded disease called BunchyTop. A not very pleasant way of dying.

+Now comes the sad part ...... the loss of Rene. On Hinchiarook there is only one patch of elephant grass 300 yds by 150 yds and is only a hop skip and. a jump away from the lagoon, and yet here, notwithstanding the 6 ft track that goes slap bang through the middle of it, Frank arrives at the other side alone. But was the Search and Rescue called-out? No. Not a mention of it. Instead, the author repeatedly raves on about pygmy African tribes, not even attempting to look for her himself. Nothing.
