Transcription Notes
Directly after our 6.30 breakfast went toward Flag Pond collecting from Mr Alfred H. Norton on the way from whom I got a few songs. Then up Higgins’s Creek on Mrs Tony Shelton’s track. She couldn’t sing anything but met a Mrs Crane in her house from whom I got one good song & several moderate ones. Back again home about 2.30 & made ourselves some lunch — the teachers at school. Later on the 3 Norton boys came in & sang & their elder brother afterwards gave me 3 or 4 more. In the evening Mr Bolch showed cinematograph pictures in the schoolroom.Location
