Such trams! Sedans, tourers, town cars of all models antediluvian up \u2013 literally swarming to along the tracks. Policemen in white candle-snuffer helmets &amp; ill fitting bum freezer coats, and simple cow like faces. And the smell of the river at night. The dreary looking wenches &amp; general absence of dress style.<\/p>\n<p>Camped at White Swan Camping Ground Upper Mt. Gravatt 8 miles out for night. Found way into city more by good fortune than anything. Finger posts being scarcer than &#8212;&#8212;. Bought much map in city &amp; with aid of same &amp; Cadbury\u2019s cartes found camp. Infested with caravans. 4 of the b&#8212;&#8212; things! All from Victoria &amp; such monsters! Fellow next us with a Stutz &amp; a Chev caravan trailing 5 dogs! And a couple of boxes of canaries! Another chap with dog &amp; 3 kids and enormous trailer he had to chock over Murrurundi in easy stages. Left him trying to sell it in Bris. so as to avoid taking it back.<\/p>\n<p>Mild spring weather, &#8211; shirt sleeves weather. Balmy!<\/p>\n<p>On way north (per favor map) pulled in to art gallery and looked over local treasures(?). What junk! Worse than Sydney. Nevertheless interesting etched cartoons of Dysons and good reproductions of old masters but some appalling jobs presented by their creators. I don\u2019t suppose anybody else\u2019d have them!<\/p>\n<p>Arrived back to Jess to find her in conversation with buck tooth fellow \u2013 rather he was the conversation. Made caravans \u2013 took us to see one. Very fine indeed.
