"On the second of the month, at two in the morning, our precious cargo of luggage was taken on board the good ship Valkyrie. We followed, and were very politely introduced by the captain to a small cabin with two standing bed places, neither very well ventilated nor very comfortable. But in the cause of science men are expected to suffer."
We traveled well reaching our first nights camp at Lake Benanee. In our haste to find a campsite in the fading light we got bogged up to the hubs in loose dry sand near the lakes edge. We had to unhitch the trailer and and break out the recovery gear to tow out the trailer luckily there as an elderly ex-scout leader to lend advice and teach us some bush skills.
