Transcription Notes
Decide to give the thing one more chance and go to Clyde to look up Medford’s relatives. Take train at 10.36, lunch at Inn and then walk off to Mrs Meg Shook, Medford’s sister. She takes us on to Mrs Haynes where they both sing to us the while a tremendous thunderstorm rages without. Get very little of any value, and their attitude to the songs etc confirms us as regards the futility of going any further in this part of the country. Coming out of Mrs Haynes cottage we find the creek a raging torrent leaping over the foot log we had passed in peace a few hours earlier. Had to take a circuitous route to station where as usual the train was 1_ hours late! Glad to get back to Balsam Hotel where I was so tired I went to bed at 9 p.m. Weather after storm much cooler.Location
