Diary Entry - 6th May, 1916
At the detached section, in among the bluebells. If I had a billy can and a chop or two, I might really think I was in the bush for a change. It is fairly windy today and the temperature has fallen about 1 points or more. I have tried the observation tree but, as I am not very keen on an 80-foot drop on a calm day, I could not faced it today, with the bough swinging about in mid-air.
