2011 Australia (Queensland and Northern Territories)
Australia 2011 (Queensland and Northern Territories) July 5 We left home at 15.15 with a taxi, took a train to Schiphol International Airport. Flight KL837 (KLM) to Singapore, departure 21.00. Upon arrival in Singapore, I saw some House Crows and Common Myna at Changi Airport. After 8 hours waiting (including a delay of 2 hours), we had a connecting flight via Darwin to Cairns with Jet Star (JQ58). July 6 We arrived in Cairns at 10.15. We picked up the rental car (Hertz; Toyota Kluger), bought groceries and gas cylinders for our stove, took a nap just outside Cairns, and drove -via the coastal route- to Kingfisher Park in Julatten. After pitching up the tent, we all slept at 19.45. July 7 Rose at 06.00. We tried to find Blue-faced Parrot Finch at Sides Rd (next to Wessel Rd), and then went for a walk in Lewis NP. We dipped on the Parrot Finch, but enjoyed good views of Spectacled Monarch (male), Large-billed Srubwren, Red-bellied Black Snake, etc. When driving back to Kingfisher Park, we stopped again at Sides Rd. This time we were more successful and found two Blue-faced Parrot Finches! In the afternoon we visited Mt. Molloy, a little village, almost ghost town-like. Surprisingly bird-rich, including Squatter Pigeon, Peaceful Dove, Bar-shouldered Dove, Great Bowerbird (common), Bush Stone-Curlew, etc. Next, we had a brief stop at Abattoir Swamp, where we had great views of a Giant White-lipped Tree-Frog. Later that day we found a second frog in one of the toilets at Kingfisher Park and had great views of a female Papuan Frog-Mouth.

Chapter Five – on the Farm
Yamani Country CHAPTER FIVE – ON THE FARM The charming landscape which I saw this morning is indubitably made up of some twenty or thirty farms … But none of them owns the landscape. There is property in the horizon which no man has but he whose eye can integrate all parts, that is, the poet. This is the best part of these men’s farms, yet to this their warranty-deeds give no title. – Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nature and Selected Essays A report from the Land Commissioner at Atherton on 19 July 1935 mentions an old lady living in abject poverty on a 255 acre dairy farm at Glen Allyn. The house and the property are described as being in a condition of disrepair, and there is a concern on the part of the officials that the conditions of her selection holding are not being met. The report concludes that the ageing Miss Raymont is utterly ‘dependent’ on the ‘natives’ working on the property and that should they leave, the Land Commissioner would have no alternative but to dispossess Miss Raymont. Tales of dependency and dispossession constitute familiar stories in Aboriginal Australia, though I would imagine less so in Australian Settler society – the society that the spinster Laura Raymont and her two bachelor brothers, Ernie and George, were very much a part of at the turn of the twentieth century (Figure 15)16. Figure 15: ‘The Raymont Brothers with Aboriginal workers, ca. 1920, Malanda’ (Photo courtesy of the Eacham Historical Society). 16 Edgar Short reports that George, Ernie and Laura Raymont were originally from Devonshire and were “among the first settlers in the district” (Short 1988: 39).
